Topic: Signed frosted glass bowl, marked as Holmegaard, but I dont think it is

[jonchellycain]

Hi all
Now I havent bought this (yet) I found it this morning and quite liked it but it is expensive.
They have put on the ticket that it is Holmegaard but I am not so sure. Does anybody know the piece or the pattern.
The mark on the base is almost impossible to see/read let alone get a picture of.
The first word is quite long and It does appear to start with a H, possibly He at the end is what looks like W.J seperate from the first word.
It is around 20cm in diameter, frosted on the outside. The signiture is actually on the polished pontil to the outer edge.
many thanks
michelle

I'm having trouble with your links - they flash the image briefly, then I get a big red rectangle, with nothing in it.

Don't recognise it but the way you describe the signature it might be Hadelands Glasvaerk WJ=Willy Johanssen? Just a hunch.

[jonchellycain]

Ivo I think your right, just found this (Daniels piece), the signiture is much clearee but I am pretty sure it is the same
Thanks so much. I may shoot off and pick it up, will get some better pictures too

Got it  , now to get some good pics....

[jonchellycain]

Definately Hadeland Willy Johanssen, mark is still very hard to get a clear shot of as it is very light and fine. Just the pattern name and date to find now  
Its a real difficult one to get a really good shot of.
weighs 1.5kgs, 22cm in diameter, 12cm tall

Hi Michelle.  :hi:  Hows things??  :sun:
What a super bowl!  A little talc rubbed on the signature will make it much easier to photograph.....and when you have a moment, Please can you put the picture on here permanently,  not just as a link.    (Just in case)

[jonchellycain]

Im much better thanks Rosie, should be going back to work in 2 weeks (as long as all my tests come back ok next week)
I am afraid the art of putting pictures onto GMB has somewhat passed me by, no matter how many times i read the section on it and try to add them it never works  :huh:, plus lots of people have tried in vain on here to tell me how to do (I do worry they will all get really annoyed with me if i ask again :help:). I think I did manage it at one point but I had to put the setting on my camera down to about 2MP and by that point the image was terrible.
I am utterly useless with computers I am afraid, if ever jon disappeared I would be completly stuck the first time something went wrong and that would be it, never to be seen online again.

P.S could one of the mods change the title for me to something like 'Hadeland Bowl by Willy Johanssen, unknown pattern' Thank you
