Title: Another cased piece - Coquille shaped.
Post by: Anne on February 19, 2006, 08:59:11 PM

I found this just before the bottle in the other question. It is the same sort of shape as the Paul Kedelv Coquille dishes, but is not marked in any way. Sizes: 210 mm (side to side) x 195 mm ( curve to end) x 175 mm (high to top of curve).

Any ideas who may have made this one please?

Possibly Bayel, France

Bayel... thanks Ivo. That's another new name for me to explore! :)

I've been mooching around looking at Bayel on sale online and it all seems to be signed with an acid stamp, which gives me another question. Did they sign everything? As my piece isn't signed does that mean it definitely isn't Bayel or that it could be unsigned Bayel?

i think that if you search for Bayel you will only find stamped pieces because people do not recognise the unmarked ones.   :D  :D  :D

Wise comment, Ivo, and one we all should remember more often.

Thanks Ivo, very helpful!   ::)   ;D 

So do I assume from your reply that Bayel did not mark everything?  :o

Ah Ha! I managed to find the earlier discussions:

I forgot to search the board for Bayel - I went all over the rest of the internet instead!!!  :oops:

On page 383 of The Decanter by Andy McConnell he shows an original 1959 Flygsfors Coquilles series dish next to “the modern copy” that is very similar. He identifies the modern one as 1990s IKEA, made in China and unsigned. There is only one picture from one angle, but it does look very like the one in this thread.

Another unmarked example here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,70276.0.html

Thanks ekimp. IKEA did make pieces that are similar to the Coquille range, I have an amber one in a flatter shape - see here http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,47883.0.html - which I'm pretty certain is IKEA, but it's not of the same quality as the blue/clear one in my post at the top of this topic.

Ok thanks, thought it was worth mentioning as the one in the book has one end turned up through about 90 degrees and has the clear boarder/rim, like the one in this thread and the other one. Unfortunately in the book he doesn’t say anything about the quality or show the base (it’s not a decanter), maybe it had a rough ground pontil scar.

My amber IKEA one doesn't have a rough pontil though, it's just the whole look and feel isn't as good as my possibly Bayel one. :)
