Topic: Swesh Vase Markings

[Glass Nisse]

Hello all, just picked up a lovely engraved vase that looks Swedish but unfamiliar markings on the bottom - looks like ornboll.76.

Could be urnboll.67? One side is engraved with a small flower.

Thanks for your interest.

It would make more sense if it said Orrefors. Please provide a picture, I'm sure someone here will recognise it.

Here is a picture. Hard to get a good image with all the reflection/refraction. It's about 3 inches tall. The etched markings again look like ornboll.67  Overall, it's oval but with flat sides.

We need a picture of the mark too, preferably against a plain background

Sorry, this is my best effort. Can't seem to focus on the glass surface.

Hi, for a clearer photo, you could try:

1. Place the glass over a plain dark surface
2. Cover the half that does not have the signature with a piece of paper with some clear wording on it (this will help the camera to focus properly)
3. Make sure there are no bright reflections near the signature
4. Set the camera to Macro mode
5. Take the photo

Pretty sure it reads "Of p XXXX"  where XXXX is a 4 digit pattern number.  "Of" = Orrefors - the maker.  p = Palmqvist - the designer.
