Bought these 2 today and since I know little about Scandi glass could do with some help on the left hand piece. The green bowl is easy it's signed and is a Flygsfors Coquille dated 1956, I suspect the right hand purple on may be similar, it stands 13" high but has no markings at all, so any help?

Hi Chuggy
That is by far the nicest piece of Flygsfors Coquille I have ever seen (I don't like most of them !)
 
The white rim banding on it (which your second piece lacks) is a "trademark" of this series designed by Paul Kedelv.

However the amethyst piece looks good quality and very good color and Paul Kedelv also did work for Reijmyre, so maybe that is a possibility for this piece, although there have been several other makers for this style. The Flygsfors are just the most easily recognisable (apart from often being signed).

For some further reading see this topic now in the archive:
ARCHIVE? Signature K-11 R-e.56 and R-e -57, K 16

You will note that, at least some, of his Reijmyre designs are also signed.

Thanks Peter
I couldn't believe it today we did a table top as my wife does silver jewellery and I bought 6 good bits of glass, an 18th c Chinese plate and a couple of bits of silver. Antique fairs, who needs em.

No joy with an ID on the purple piece, so still open to suggestions.

Patience !
It could take years !  :evil:
Anyway, Ivo hasn't spoken yet ......I think he's away.
I made my suggestion ...nothing else immediately springs to mind but I will warn you that many companies did this style of glass : Beyel, Chalet, Holmegaard .......and many others.
