My Carboot Finds, Bjorkshult and Webbs
BJB:
Have just staggered back from the car boot sale near me today with some lovely items including these two bits.
The first is a bowl, (which I first thought looked like Nazeing with a rough pontil :oops: ), but it is by C H Wagner for Bjorkshult, who I've found out was chief designer from 1957-1976, and the factory closed in 1978 when Royal Krona collapsed. So I presume it was made in the 1960's?. But have never heard of this company before...

The second is another surprise, to me at least :D , I thought it was maybe Italian, but is it acid etched "Webbs England" on the base and its very very heavy with bubble patterns. I didn't know Webbs were this innovative (sp). Does anyone know when it might have been made?

Barbara,
Sorry, can't help with dates, but your beak vase is just gorgeous :mrgreen:
BJB:
Hi Della,
It is a stunner, and weighs nearly 4.5kg so it's a solid piece. I still can't belive its a Webbs piece though, is sooooooo nice :lol:

Ivo:
I would just love to know how the underside is finished on your Björkshult piece!
BJB:
Hi Ivo,
It has been hand blown as it has a rough/snapped off pontil mark in the middle of the bowl. Is this right for this piece?
