karelm:
Thanks Connie and Wolf!
Looking at my piece the last part does seem to say M Jonasson.
I had a look around and I could only find one reference to Butterflies but it seems the series has been retired.
I have sent a request to his website asking for confirmation.
Thanks once again!

I'm sure it does: and the "J" is like the "J" on my butterfly - which is why I wasn't sure if it was a "J" or "Y".

For which company did you find the mention - Kosta-Boda or Maleras-Jonasson?
Jonasson left Kosta in 1975 - so clearly all his designs at Kosta will no longer be manufactured.

Connie:
Wuff - I think yours is an early Mats Jonasson also.  It looks like his style but not as detailed as his later work, which is expected as his expertise and skill has developed over time.

Karel - Jonasson's work is not pressed.  It is all hand cut, etched from the back to give the 3-dimensional image when viewed from the front.

I have several of his more recent weights as well - my favourite is

which is almost 25 cm high and weighs about 3.5 kg.

Wow Wolf, doesn't he photograph well!!

I think his prices on line are really quite cheap, you can get a good collection together for not a lot of money.

Rather like the Capredoni Dartington ones, some lovely ones for not a lot of money really.
