Please help ID vase/bottle with opalescent bands ID = Meijdam for Leerdam

(1/3) > >>

rocco:
This beautiful vase (or maybe decanter) has a label I have never seen, a capital "L" surrounded by a golden chain.
The style of the label looks rather oldfashioned, so I would date it to the 1970ies at latest (but certainly could be wrong).

Vase stands 28 cm high, has an indented base, fire-polished rim, and internal decoration of opalescent and beige bands / swirls.

(Sorry for the crappy pics, but the decoration is quite delicate and not easy to capture)

I looked through books and websites for glassmakers whose names begin with L, but without much success.
The only glasswork I found who used "L" on their labels is Lindshammar, but their labels look quite different.

Any comments very appreciated!
Thanks
Michael

???

Maybe that is an importer label?? as just a guess -- but I will see what I can find, if anything  :spls:   

Could those be Scrolls around the edges OR motifs for an Eyeball        ??                     



 (Just throwing it out there, as a Guess.....................)

Ivo:
at first glance it looks like a Floris Meijdam bottle vase like mine - but unable to explain away the L label.

rocco:
Thank you very much, Rose and Ivo!

Rose, the motivs may well be eyeballs, I merely guessed that this was a chain...

Ivo, your Meijdam bottle does look a lot like mine! Is the bottom finish similar too? And is it unsigned as well?

I have done a search for Leerdam yesterday (because of the "L"), and I saw similar designs, but never a paper label with an "L", and most pieces signed, so I ruled that out...
But I wouldn't mind at all if it was a Meydam design :)

Michael

Ivo:
only the current replicas are signed (and most discreetly) but the old ones never are. And yes, the bottom is similar.

Leerdam did not use L stickers - it must be a retailer.
