Three vases from the local market this morning.

Number 1: blue powder and bubbles inclusions, rough! pontil mark. The lady I bought it from thought it was from Scandinavia but she forgot which country.

Number 2: etched decor of giraffes on an oval shaped vase; at the rear (not on the bottom) engraved "A.J. 628 Hdl-54" Is this a Hadeland Jutrem piece?

Number 3: well made, well finished steel blue vase, surprisingly heavy. The colour could be Stömbergshyttan or Holmegaard - but is possibly Czech?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

#2 Arne Jon Jutrem at
Hadeland 1950-62 and 1985-present

The footed items seem earlier than most Scandi I'm used to seeing.
I would guess 30s 40s.
#1 Several companies did the spidery bubbly thing but I can't find anything in that bright blue let alone the foot.
#3 This does not strike me as Czech despite the weight and I don't think steel blue is a Czech color. I'm thinking early Stromberg. Not all Stromberg was signed.

The two on the right do have a certain naivety about them, don't they?

I suppose you didn't get the one you were after? :?

Thanks Max, I think all three are rather naive.
It was one of those markets. I came home with these three, with a Tamara Aladin vase in olive green, a small Mats Jonasson, a Meydam stacking bottle, a Copier spill vase, an early open salt, a Gullaskruf clear cased blue vase but best of all a Leerdam De Bazel decanter, service J from 1917 and a Jogya silver dish. So by the time I got back. burdened and laden, I figured it was not worth driving 15 miles on the off chance of getting the Poli somerso.

@ Peter: Thanks , have you ever seen Jutrem glass before? I went through all the books but nothing.

5th pic down here + bio ?
http://ldmuziejus.mch.mii.lt/Naujausiosparodos/norvegu_stiklas.htm
a book about him here
http://www.haugenbok.no/resverk.cfm?st=hurtig&tittel=arne%20jon%20jutrem&p=1&r=1&cid=107504
3 pieces here
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalogs/759-500.html?fc=&query=jutrem
+ the signature would seem to be normally AJJ
............hmmmmm
......this is bugging me now
and I find that in 1954 he was awarded a gold medal at the Milan Triennale for his "Grønland" series ....which is much more similar in style (if not color) to your first piece !!! ................ :roll: ....but no feet to be seen seen ....yet
AND only one number in the signatures of these pieces
AND All spell out HADELAND ...none shortened
AND Initials even on early pieces = AJJ
so ...................hmmmmm

My misgivings almost exactly. I have 2 items from the Grönland series, one unsigned, the other signed Hadeland in full and AJJ. But I've now asked Antikprat - should it happen to be somthing Swedish after all, they'll be sure to tell me.

Antikprat has confirmed it is Hadeland, by Arne Jutrem.

Went back to the same market (2 day event) today, with equally stunning results as yesterday. Summing up, I found
Strömbergshyttan/ Gunnel Nyman
Johansfors/ Bengt Orup
Sea Glasbruk/ Rune Strand
Gullaskruf/ Hugo Gehlin
Orrefors/ Olle Alberius
Holmegaard/ unknown
Hadeland/ Arne Jutrem
Riihimäki/ Tamara Aladin
Leerdam/ Andries Copier, Floris Meijdam & KPC de Bazel

Notable absences: No Czech of any quality, No Whitefriar's @ all, no Tango, No quality Murano, and nothing French. Go figure

Leerdam/ De Bazel decanter, 1917

Not sure why all of this suddenly appears on one and the same market; maybe because I have not grazed these pastures for a long time? As for Dutch aesthetic, hmmmmmmm <looks pensive>

paradisetrader · « **Reply #8 on:** October 31, 2005, 03:47:57 PM »

Thanks for showing us.

Gehlin ....at Gullaskruv ? Gullaskruf ? (presumably the same ?)

Sea Glasbruk threaded
I could have sworn we has seen something very similar recently but I thought then and it looks now ...engraved rather than threaded

? :?

Riihimäki/ Aladin
It's certainly a piece I have seen many time attributed to Riihimäki/ Aladin but wether that is actually correct or not I don't know. Max ?
Yes the Riihimäki on the left I have not seen before. Have I got these the right way round ?

Leerdam/ De Bazel decanter, 1917
Very simple. ....dare I say very Dutch.
Is it signed ? in a book ?

yes, with an F. Gehlin was art director there throughout the 30s and 40s - I'd love someone to confirm this attribution.

You are referring to the brown bottle with the glass spun around it - yes I saw that. I immediately thought "I've seen that one - it's Skrdlovice"- but could not find it in my documentation. This one has a spun thread - p.56 smoke & ice.

I haven't seen the one on the left either - it just happened to sneak into the group as I was taking a picture :wink: . I was doubting the Aladin attribution, there are just too many lookalikes about. Max - didn't you have a similar one?

Leerdam/ De Bazel decanter, 1917

Is it signed ? in a book ?

yes, it has the correct export etch mark, it is also a famous piece in terms of Leerdam because it is so early and because KPC de Bazel was one of the leading architects. I also have matching glasses - to make a set & am optimistic about the sales potential < :lol: :lol: :lol: >
