Topic: Sweden Signed Paperweight Sculpture - Info needed!

[svazzo]

Hi everyone!
First time posting in this section.
I have a paperweight or sculpture that i believe is signed...

8-0 Lane
ExenÀs
Sweden
C 147

If I am wrong please someone let me know
It is a ship that has been engraved in the glass, and the glass has been roughly chipped and cut.
I would like to know who is the maker, and what age range it might have been produced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Good morning Svazzo! I think I can help a little.
Your paperweight/sculpture comes from a glassworks that sadly no longer exists, EkenÄs.
The signature is not 8-0 but a stylised J-O Lake, John-Orwar Lake, a designer hired by EkenÄs during the 50's and 60's.

I can't find anything in my litterature that would  date it but I'm sure someone will be able to help 

Nice piece by the way!

Thank you so much for that fast reply!
Just want to make sure i have the correct information for my listing
I havent sold anything like it before.
I collect Italian glass and this piece was in a lot of paperweights I bought.
Any idea of a value for it?
