So where did you look? It is the Kaj Franck water caraffe which has been in production for about 50 years - only in recent times some unscrupulous rascal (Wot's that in Polish?) has made imitations and you can only tell the difference if you handle both at the same time.

Thanks Ivo,thought it may have been WF's when I first got the piece,my data base prior to joining the GMB was a few general antique books,one on WF's and Sothebys glass book which is very general,although I have a number of better books now I still need to get some on Scandinavian glass,again thanks,Keith.
