whence comes this Cocquille copy.

(1/2) > >>

Paul S.:
Only because I do occasionally look at the picture captions, do I know this might be loosely called a copy of a Flygsfors Paul Kedelv 'Cocquille' vase (which apparently means 'shell like').   I say possibly, because this one seems to be a little over the top - with frills - when compared with the the more simple lines of those in the books.  About 235mm tall, and there is a fair amount of wear on the flat base, so it wasn't made that recently.   An attractive cintrine colour - and needless to say not marked.  I hadn't realized that the term 'Cocquille' was in fact given to a series of his designs, the common factor being that they were free form, and usually with a white base cased in colour and then cased again in a heavy crystal.
Might this be a 'generic' Murano offering?    Grateful for anyone's thoughts,and thanks for looking.

Ivo:
I'd stick to "Czech citrine free formed bowl" and forget everything you ever read about Flygsfors. There is only a nodding relationship but they're not not speaking terms.

Paul S.:
thanks Ivo, and I'm more than happy with the thought that it is most probably Czech.

Carolyn Preston:
Now that one looks like it's Canadian, i.e.) Chalet or Lorraine. (What shapes did Altaglass do?)
