Signed Orrefors. No number or letter???
« on: August 12, 2011, 06:35:42 PM »
Hello ppl i was wondering if you could help i have this signed Orrefors piece. However it doesnt have a pattern number or designer letter. Can anyone help me identify the designer and possibly what date it should be. I think it could be Ariel style. The glass is 700 gram  in weight despite its size.  Almost 0.75 inches thick.3.5inches tall. :) please help? Reminds me of a Chilli pepper.

I also believe its crystal when flicked it gives a very high pitched sonorous ring lasts a second or two.

Very similar but not as curved or spherical more square and straight. Appears slimmer at base than rim.

I wondered if it might be one of the hand formed pieces rather than mould blown....in which case, might there be subtle differences between each piece? Like this one:-

Yes its similar but not blue crystal its definately clear transparent. The orrefors signature part of my pic looks blue because my cameras a bit naff and i had to use a loupe which has blue white led lights and hold it over the lens to magnify it (no mean feat).  The base has alot of scratches so i wonder whether it did have an id number and letter which wore off over time. I was about an hour looking through the loupe 60x at miniscule scratches for possible codes after a while it was like seeing shapes in the clouds, so i just gave up on my imagined false leads and posted it here.

This glass has a mean foot its not kind with information. Anyway on both your links the lobes turn in at the rim (like apple shaped). Mine straight at an outward angle. See my pic the top left is most accurate. The top right of the pic is misleading cause of camera angle. It could be Vicke Lindstrand on a day where his lobes didnt go over so he didnt want to sign it..erm or her lobes. :usd: :usd: :thud: :spls: :spls:

You need to have Daniel S come and solve the mystery for you.  He is an Orrefors specialist and very, very helpful.

It looks like part of the Stella Polaris line, designed by Lindstrand in 1940 and produced for a number of years after that. The line came in a variety of sizes and at least a couple of different finishes.
