Pinkspoons:

--- Quote from: "Tigerchips" ---I don't know how old the company is but I think I remember that the letter "I" was often changed over to "J" (or vice versa) in the Victorian times and earlier. Or am I dreaming again.  :roll:

Dansk is the company name, Quistgaard (two 'a's, my mistake) was a designer there. Or possibly artistic director, as he does seem to have his stamp on an awful lot of Dansk designs. Anyway, as far as I can tell, his tenure ran from possibly the late 50s until the 70s. But that's just guesswork from the styles of the pieces I've seen.

After a quick Google, there are some indications that he owned Dansk.

I found this brief history of the company. It says Quistgaard was a co-founder.

Ah, my approximate dates weren't too far wrong then.

I love the nested tables on that site - but those prices are a bit ouch.

Would it be possible to see a piccie of the maker's mark on the tray, TC?  :)

Tigerchips:
My mum bought a glass swan with a mark on the bottom. She also bought a magnifier to look at the mark, but the magnifier turned out to be worth more than the swan.  :roll:

Very faint mark
