Topic: Kosta glasses ???

[Mikael]

Can anyone provide any info about these glasses I bought this weekend at a glass "flea market" up norht in Sweden ?

They claimed it to be Kosta glasses from either the 20's or 30's. Dont know if thats accurate.
The same glasses are displayed at a table spread at the Carl Larson museum outside Falun.

I loved this crystal and got 27 glasses at a real good price. Red wine, white wine, and two smaller sizes for cognac or such...
Attached a picture of the red and white wine glasses.

I think this is a fairly traditional shape produced by many factories - so pinning down a specific manufacturer may be difficult. In the book Scandinavian Glass 1930 - 2000: Smoke & Ice there's an undated advert for Kosta showing similar glasses with cut-decorated bowls - series name Kent - but the same form, with and without engraved decoration, also pops up in catalogues for both Kastrup (1910) and Holmegaard (1923).

Thanks a lot !!!! I will try to find out some more..
I visited Holmegaard last summer and looked at their exhibit but don't recall remembering this model.

My glasses are not engraved so it might be holmegard or kastrup. I will ask at the kosta show room in town too.

I got them for 4 USD each so quite a good bargain regardless the manufacturer.
