This should be any easy one for somebody. Can anyone tell me about this vase?

Stands about 10" high and is, I'm 99.9% sure, Swedish. It has the remains of the label in place (shown below ~ characters on the second line are 'BO...), which should help!

Many thanks, John.

Hi John.

Aseda, Sweden - Bo Borgstrom.

Thanks very much for that Max ~ I didn't think it'd take long!

The information is much appreciated,

John.

If someone could confirm this was made without the bubble in base, that'd be good. I'm feeling nervous since my WF debacle earlier. :roll:

I wouldn't call it a debacle Max, but I have to say that I wasn't too sure about it ~ not that I'm an expert! :?
I think I've made a mistake too this morning at a car boot sale. Picked up what I thought was a large WF jug but, now I've got it home and compared it to other pieces, I'm having severe doubts. Still, it was only £2! May be on the WF board later!
Are you saying that the Aseda vase would normally have a bubble in the base?
Thanks again, and keep smiling!

John.

:lol: John, jugs are notoriously hard to get right IMO, I tend to leave them well alone now. I look forward to seeing it.

For me, this vase is the right shape, the right colour and has the right sticker - then I checked the sticker in a book and posted. However, I rooted through a bit more and could only find examples with bubbles in the base. Then I panicked. :lol:

It's probably fine, but I'm doing belt and braces from now on. :wink:

Thanks again Max.
I've had a very quick look through the WF catalogues for the jug but haven't found it yet. The thing that's got me most doubtful is that I thought it was Sapphire Blue but, when I compared it to a Sapphire vase which I know is WF, it looks a very slightly darker blue. Will try to get it on WF site later this evening or, more probably, tomorrow ~ got a few bits (including this vase) to get ready to list on eBay for this evening. Don't worry, I won't quote you! :lol:
Thanks again for your help, John.

Max, there was a red one the same shape and style with a pierced bubble in the base, on eBay a while ago but it was listed as Hoymantort (of whom I can find nothing except eBay listings! :roll:) (Next question: who is Hoymantort?)

Anne ~ have just looked for Hoymantort on eBay and come up with nothing, with a similar result on the whole of the web! Is my spelling incorrect, or have they all gone from eBay now? :? Cheers, John.

Yes they are all expired sales, but if you put Hoymantort into GOOGLE you'll see their cache of the listings (click the Cached button below the search) - all the images have gone but I saved one for my own reference when I saw them originally which is what I checked against before my earlier post. As the image is someone else's copyright I cannot post it here or in the Gallery.
