Strange piece - ID = Per Olof Strom for Alsterfors
« on: July 17, 2013, 08:31:22 PM »
I picked up this odd looking object. It is 150mm tall, has 3 clear mould lines, leans slightly and is a very nice blue/gray colour. Thick glass and growing on me all the time. Does anyone recognise it?
Thanks Bruce

It reminds me a bit of a Per Olof Strom design...  ???

I was thinking  the same Dirk, for Alsterfors Sweden.  I've certainly seen similar pieces.

Agree with Dirk, got to be Alsterfors surely.  Pics attached of a similar signed piece.

Thanks guys never would have got close without you. After a bit of googling I have not found this vase but I have found enough similarities in colour and style to think you are right. many thanks

You guys have eyes like hawks it is signed but very faint except for the 68. I missed it completely despite searching. Reads P Strom 68. Thanks.
