Ekenas Perfume Bottle

<< < (2/3) > >>

Connie:
Thank you, Peter.  I love the  color too - it is like sunshine which we need here since it is snowing again!

The reason I think it might be Lake is the bubbly glass with the thich clear base.  Both the vase I showed and the bowl (which I had seen also) seem to have this bubbly glass.

I am going to re-examine the piece to make sure it isn't signed.

This is where the money is for Ekenas, a 1940s piece by Edvin Ollers.

any luck on the signature ?
I don't really care - I just like it !

Connie:
Peter -

I examined the piece in daylight with a loupe and I couldn't find a signature.  But what I did discover was that the yellow glass is much more like the pink bowl than my initial pictures would indicate.  When lit from the back by strong sunlight you can see that the glass is streaky with many small bubbles.

I think the perfume appears more opaque or solid because it is a tight cylinder rather than an open bowl so you are looking through both sides of the cylinder, if that makes sense.

I want to get another picture of it in the sunlight but I don't have time right now.  I have to hem my DD's skirt for Wassail tonight  :roll:   I would rather be playing with glass  :lol:

Connie:
Ivo -

I attempted to post my question on the forum you provided.  But I couldn't.  It gave me a forbidden IP message which I interpret to mean I have to register.  But I can't find the registration button since I don't read Swedish  :oops:

Ivo can you or someone else please help me to register and post or post the question for me?

Ivo:
No you do not need to register.  scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and press the button "skapa ny diskussion" (create new topic)
you then get a screen "skriv en rubrik för den nya diskussionen" - fill in the header ("Ekenäs flaskedesignor"?)

and in the window underneath just ask your question.

You must fill in your name (any name) in "Namm eller Signatur" otherwise you get an error message.

Your e-mail is optional in "Epost (frivillig uppg.)"

then press the button underneath which says "Förhandsgranska/ Skicke Medelande" (preview/ send)

you then get a preview window; press "skicke medelande" again and Bob's your uncle. It may take a minute.
