Topic: Ronneby Konstglas or not, can anybody help with ID please?

[rosieposie]

Please can you help here?  

I like the look of this glass cat, but I am concerned that it might not be as described.

Does RK mean Ronneby Konstglas, or might it be Royal Krona?

Is M. Fust a known designer / maker?

Any light you can throw on this might help me decide on purchasing or not.

Hi Rosie.  I'd say Royal Krona, I have an owl by Mats Jonasson signed in the same way, which I assume is from the period Mats Jonasson Glass was owned by Royal Krona (mid 70's):



I've no idea who "M. Fust" is.

It seems Fust did work for Royal Krona, so I'd be thinking them rather than Ronneby for the cat.

There's a couple of other listings with the R.K. mark on the base here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400230134376 <--- owl
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120745073077 <--- paperweight which had R.K. and a Royal Krona label but images are gone (I hope this cached link works!) IMAGE LINK

A search of Google for "royal krona" +fust brings various useful results.

Thanks so much Wayne  :kissy: and Anne  :kissy: .....I think you are both right....Royal Krona and M. Fust.
You have helped me decide.....he is a lovely cat, so I had better find out what the postage will be. :wsh:

Hi Rosie,

It is marked RK for Royal Krona so it has nothing to do with Ronneby.

I found some info here on Royal Krona:
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,9234.0.html
the Royal Krona group was a fusion of the following: Gullaskruf, Åseda, Skruf, Björkshult and Målerås.

I would not rule out Ronneby.  I ahve this crystal horse marked underneath as

RK
Ronneby
Sweden
Mi 20

And it has a studio Line label.(see photos)

I would suggest an email to Marcolin/Ronneby

Hi Ross,

The horse is model M-20 and not Mi 20, and they sign FM Ronneby.....

Could you please add a picture of the signature, thank you!

[rosieposie]

Lovely horse Ross,  but I think Inca is correct. ( to me, she is Marcolin / Ronneby!!)
Fascinating reading in that link Inca, and thank you all once again....just waiting for postage details now.....it might be too much though! :cry:

Been too busy with overseas visitors and a wife about to start her third round of chemotherapy for Ovarian cancer to get photos done.  Did check the signatures - you are absolutely right Inca - though I have to say without knowing what I was looking at my original reading still seemed OK - I wish they all printed clearly.  :spls:

 :hug: for your wife Ross, I had no idea she was ill......will be thinking of you both over the next few weeks.  :kissy:
