pretty little crystal vase, scandi ? marked to base, skruf ?
« on: December 01, 2009, 04:09:45 PM »
Hi all, ive been down to the depths of my boxes today as i have to have a big clear out of my glass im afraid, and this is one ive had for a number of years, it has a little mark on the base, which ive got into my head is skruf, but im not sure as i cant seem to find the same mark.
could anybody give me any info
The vase stands at 13cms tall and has those funny little puffin birds sandblasted (i think) on the front. The mark is a clover shape with a little + at the bottom (although it may be the other way round)
many thanks
michelle

The alchemist sign for glass is a figure 8 lying sideways with a cross underneath and that was used as a mark by Skruf.

many thanks Ivo, i was on the right track then, any ideas as to when this mark was used or is it one that may have been used for a long time?
