Holmegaard from Ikea!
Pinkspoons:
Actually, whilst we're on the mis-attributed glass topic... I'm really irked by this guy, who labels practically anything and everything as Holmegaard - even after I pointed him in the direction of Kaj Franck as the designer of one of his dishes (directing him to a site with photographs of labeled pieces of said dish):

Frank:
Well we cannot persuade everyone to do proper research, good that you tried :)

This I would agree with if they tweaked the design slightly, or in the least gave them some kind of permanent stamp, but exact repros tend to sully the market for original pieces and degrade the price. :(
Frank:
Tweaked the design :o :? :shock: aaarghhh, don't let the designer here that. There is bound to be differences that the collector can learn and anything that can degrade prices has to be good for us poor collectors :!:
Pinkspoons:
But it doesn't help us poor sellers very much! :lol:
I agree, there are usually signs - usually internal parts that would have been metal/bakelite being replaced with cheapo plastic parts - but these are hard to spot over eBay, where I tend to buy stock from reasonably regularly.
