Holmegaard from Ikea!

(1/7) > >>

Tigerchips:
Have a look at Danish Retro Design website (Link is on Glasoholics). There is a bowl on there described as Holmegaard.

Here's my Ikea bowl

I sent this message to them
The Holmegaard bowl. Is the Ikea sticker still on it? It's on mine. :)

Here's the reply
Irregular grinding is recognizing Holmegaard
Holmegaards glasswerks stopped ingraving for a period of some years
before 1969 They started again in 1969
because of demand from customers
it means that this bowl is from the period without ingraving  
 
Ikea which is a swedish retailchain, is one of many retailers who has sold Holmegaard
our bowl is without label
Per Lytken is the designer of this beautiful bowl


BTW, and i'm positive it's totally unrelated, I recieved a virus before this message came. Nice.

paradisetrader:
Tiger, This is an imprtant question of ID
so I'm moving it to the main Glass forum for serious consideration.

Here's the bowl on that website http://danish-retro.com.linux1.unoeuro.com/1200_012.htm

It's important we question ID's that we see online as long as we don't question the bona fides of the seller. Anyone can make a mistake.

Ivo:
Ikea then? I could have swore blind that it was BAYEL.
 :(

Frank:
What about the sellers detailed response then? If we are going to deal with misattribution those statements need to be addressed too.

I once had a very similar Lutken piece but signed.

Ivo:


according to Dansk Glas that one was aqua blue.
