Konstglas sculpture CJ Engberg 1966
« on: August 25, 2019, 02:07:50 AM »
My mom bought this from Georg Jensen (I think) in the late 60's or 70's. I'm looking for any information about it. It's marked Konstglas CJ Engberg 66 on the bottom.

Hello and welcome.

What an interesting piece.  Please post a picture of the base and let us have some measurements.

It looks at first glance like a perfume bottle......is the ball firmly attached?

I figured that this would be a pretty common item, so I didn't give enough information.  The sculpture is solid glass (six pieces cemented together), quite heavy (6.6 pounds on my bathroom scale). It stands 10 inches tall and is 7 inches at the widest. I'm not being allowed to upload a 113k image...

I think it's a very unusual piece and, at 10", quite striking.  Nothing in my books so far  for Engberg, is it definitely CJ? The 66 is probably the model Number.  If it was enberg it would translate as "a mountain", which would be an apt name for the piece.

Thank you for the extra pictures......any chance of one more with the first part a bit clearer?  I don't see  "konstglas" from the picture.  Have found Engberg Glass, Bavaria, but nothing like your piece.   I'm still not sure it starts with "E"......if it does, the C-J would surely be E-J?

I see Sweden and Omberg in that writing... I'd like to see all of it though.

Could we have a larger photo of the whole signature please? You should be able to make it around 700 pixels on the longer sides and still fit our file size limits.  If not, we can help - if you can email me a copy of the base showing the signature clearly (straight from camera/phone is best) and I'll resize it to fit the board for you, if that helps? support AT glassmessages.com will reach me (close up the spaces and change AT to @).

There was an Ateljé Engberg, in Urshult, Sweden.  Most of their pieces I'm seeing pic's of are labelled rather than carry engraved signatures, like THIS one.
