Kosta? id = Wennerstrand for Johansfors
« on: June 11, 2010, 05:26:41 PM »
Is this Kosta?
Lilac tint to the glass with gold lines in the vase, agewear to the base, stands 17cm high.
Thanks.

Hi,

Nice piece!!! I believe Kosta signed all of their glass. It does look similar to a Kosta piece by Vicke lindstrand.  It also has a similar appearance to a fouls foot vase no 3215 by Iittala designed by Tapio Wirkkala again it would be signed on the base. hopefully someone in here will be able to help.

Designed by Sixten Wennerstrand for Johansfors Glasbruk, 1940s - 1950s. Nice one!
