possible Scandinavian connection??
« on: October 31, 2009, 08:03:10 PM »
Knowing next to nothing about this sort of item I've always fought shy of collecting Scandinavian pieces similar to this, and I suspect this is more likely to turn out to be M&S, Habitat or Ikea, anyway.  Mould blown base, slightly cheap looking, although the casing is clear - white - blue.   Just a little wear, enought to show it might be anything up to 10 - 15 years old.  Height is 32 cms. tall.  Before I take it back to the charity shop, does anyone actually recogize it to be the real thing.   Thanks for looking.    Paul S.

Modern Chinese - almost certainly within the last 5-10 years. It's more or less a copy of a Christer Holmgren design for Holmegaard. See attached photo for original...
