Topic: Holmegaard Glass Suncatcher ?

[Novasonic]

Hi

I picked up this green glass suncatcher the other day -

I thought it might be a Holmegaard one ? But I am now not so sure after looking around the net

it measures 3 3/4" in diameter

Can anyone shed any light on who produced this ?

Thanks

Rob

Definitely not Holmegaard... but can't really help beyond that. Sorry.

hi rob
no one seems to know or not sure.they look the same to me but as i have found what seems to be one thing turns out to be another. good luck finding out i have been all over the net and the chandelier drops look very similar. yours is a bit bigger than the ones i have

No, not Hoglund and neither are the items in the link.

thanks john so still none the wiser. apart from knowing who they are not by.  there must are thousands of glass factories make bits like this to sell in there shops

I know, which makes it all the harder to work out where these bits come from. They are not difficult to make I suppose, at least once you have made a suitable stamp or mould. A blob of hot glass dropped onto the marver then squish with your stamp, poke a little hole in it for hanging and apart from cooling it down that's it.

Hoglund's designs are usually fairly distinctive - it's that naive or primitive style. This is one of his, easy to tell in this case as it is a well known design: https://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/ErikHoglund#5610693437205310002
It's about 3 inches tall, I bought it at the last National Glass Fair and I have been kicking myself ever since for not buying the other one the seller had too. Long gone now I expect. :cry:
