Hi
Some confusion about Willy Johansson here, and no wonder really, as there were two of them – one in Norway, working exclusively for Hadeland, and another in Sweden, associated with Orrefors (though the wonderful hairdresser story was new to me too). Hadeland pieces are always signed Hadeland WJ. Pieces prior to 1961 will have the year added, and occasionally the glassblower’s initials as well (though not after 1954).
