Welcome to the board.

It looks like your vase is signed Kosta O?976, Kosta is easy enough - a well known Swedish glassmaker. The rest of the code is a little harder, it may be a design by Edvin Ollers from the early 1930s (but it could have been made later).

Kosta did not merge with Boda (and Afors) until the 1970s.

Cupal, will you please either restore the images or preferably upload copies to the board as a permanent reference? That way your query will help other searchers too. Thanks. :thup:
