Topic: Royal Leerdam Orange handled vase ID = Max Verboeket, "Antiqua"(1969)

[Margi]

Hello all I bought this orange bubble quite large Royal Leerdam vase but I am unfortunately unable to locate the year of manufacture and designer.  I have searched through tons of stuff but only see something similar not the same.  I also know it is after 1957.  Could anyone kindly point me in the right direction as I will be selling this one and wish to get my description right.  Many thanks.

Floris Meijdam from the late seventies I think.

Found it 63948 Antiqua done in mostly green then amber (not orange silly me) and also in blue and purple but less common.

Ignore me the handles are wrong but getting closer

... 63948 is right. Part of the Antiqua series (1969) of Max Verboeket for Kristalunie Maastricht - by that time incorporated in Royal Leerdam - and often mistaken with the Etruska Series by Floris Meydam.

NKP, do you have permission from the museum to use their photograph? If not, we'll have to remove it from the thread, and just go by the link.

... no explicit permission for this particular photo but I am well acquainted with the director and curator so none of them will object (... especially if I advertise that the museum will reopen in June !)
