Ekenas Perfume Bottle

(1/3) > >>

Connie:
Another grat perfume I just acquired.  I know it is Ekenas because it had a label  :wink:

Do you know the pattern name/line name and year it was made?

It approximately 7 inches tall with the clear glass bottom and stopper.  The bottom is a bright yellow glass with many small bubbles. The bottom has a polished pontil mark.

Ekenas Perfume

Edited: I have hidden this in my shop now until I properly identify it. It shouldn't be showing in my general catalog.



Thanks!

Connie:
Gentle bump.

I have searched and searched and can not find much info on Ekenas. I can find no other scent or perfume bottles at all.  The closest item I have found in style to my perfume is vase designed by John Orwar Lake in the 1950s.

Any ideas where I might get more info?

then click glas - konstglas
but be warned: the forum is in Swedish only. They will understand a question in English but will normally answer in Swedish.

Connie:
Thank you, Ivo.

I forgot to say the other bit of info I gleaned from an internet search was that Lake was a designer at Ekenas from 1953-76.

Hi Connie
What a fab funky item + yellow too = my color.
Please let me know when you offer it for sale - it could be my first perfume bottle !

I've managed to find about 20 Ekenas items online but non of them like this and only one not signed.

Lake could have designed this as he was there so long but he seems better known for his engraved designs and mottled bi-colour vases. This is the most modern looking piece I've found by him - also signed http://www.antikportal.dk/?page=antique_doc&id=157&lang=dk#

There were other designers but mostly for short periods - maybe freelance. If by one of those, that could also explain why it's not signed, the company prefering to promote only themsleves and their in-house designers.
