Any ideas as to which Hoglund made this penguin?  Signed 'Hoglund Art Glass' on base.  Erik or daughter Erika ?

Hi Anne,

I looked it up on Google and found the following:

Höglund Art Glass
www.hoglund.co.nz

Ola Höglund and Marie Simberg-Höglund settled in New Zealand in 1982, where they have a glassblowing studio in Nelson, the Northern tip of the South Island.
Born in Sweden, Ola and Marie trained with Kosta Boda and Orrefors, before three years in Africa on a Swedish Government (SIDA) development project, teaching the art of hand-blown glass techniques in Swaziland..........

Hej Anne E. B.

You were not far off. The Hoglund in New Zealand is the son of Erik Hoglund, the Swedish glass artist.

Anne E.B.:
Boy do they get around!  :lol:
