Title: Pair Kastrup white bottle vase, but by who and when
Post by: BJB on May 05, 2007, 05:34:27 PM

I picked up these two lovely Kastrup bottle vases, both with labels on the bases

But I would love to know who made them and when.

I can't help you with info Barbara but they're splendid - very nice.  Just bumping this for you in the hope the Kastrup maestro Nic will see it, I'm interested in knowing more about these also.

Just spotted these on eBay - they're very firmly on my watch-list.  ;D

Your attribution on there is pretty spot-on - JE Bang, c. 1960.

You might have a little competition for these Nic  ;D

I'm having a little JE Bang phase right now. I have a pair of Bang pendant lamps in my bedroom which would match these vases beautifully.

But I'm not sure that my bank account can stretch to too much competition. ;D

Mine have been recently devoured by Holmegaard's 'Carnaby' range - it's not cheap stuff...   :(

Hi Nic & Pip,

I am so pleased that I got it nearly right, they are really nice ,and I think I've got an orange lamp-shade that matches,its the sameish shape but without the bottom, will have to look for it under the stairs.



(BTW if either of you are successful I am sure that some arrangement can be made about P&P  ;) )

Ooh, I'd be very interested in seeing the lampshade. Although the only JE Bang lamp I can think of (off the top of my head) in a similar shape that would have also been produced in orange is this one:

Oh dear, a bit of bad news. They're not actually vases - they're gin decanters with missing teak stoppers. I was just looking through some of my information to see if I could pin down that c.1960 to something a little more specific, and I came across the pattern 7648 gin decanter.

The images I have of it aren't mine, so I can't really post them (they were culled from eBay for my own reference), but the stoppers are fairly plain tapering cylinders of teak.

Nic,

Will have to "excavate" under the stairs and see if I can find it.  knowing me though when it comes to light it will be nothing like what I remember it to be  ;D

Well these don't seem to have had stopppers for a very long time as they were filthy dirty both inside and out, and the tops are very narrow just over 1" across, so the outside is clean but the inside is still dusty. ;)

Ah, here we go - patt 7648 decanter - although this time it has 'Rye' printed on it - the one I have a photograph of has gin...

Also sans stopper, unfortunately.
