Title: Kjell Engmann for Kosta orange striped Vase / Bowl - date help please
Post by: jakgene on November 12, 2010, 06:54:38 AM
Just acquired this lovely striped orange bowl

engraved to base kosta boda 58929 K Engman (I think that is what it says anyway)

I have googled, searched the Kosta Boda site, and checked my copy of Fire and Sea, but can't find any info about this.
Can anyone help with a date from the number inscribed on the base please  :)

It is currently looking gorgeous on my sideboard filled with apricot coloured hibiscus flowers  -  :sun:

Thanks
JAK
