Glassmaker's mark - back to back Bs - who they are? ID = Bergdala, Sweden
« on: March 28, 2019, 10:36:25 AM »
Hiyah,
Thank you for allowing me to join your forum!  ;D
I have a query about a piece that's been put on my Facebook page "All Things Vintage, Retro & Collectable" by a lady called Karen.  She doesn't know anything about it, bought it at an antiques place and only had the "help" there so couldn't get the info there either.   I've attached a picture - I'm not even sure what it is. Is it a paperweight? Or just decoration?  And it has a maker's mark on it - I presume it's the maker's mark anyway - back to back capital Bs.  Would be lovely to find out how old it is (she thinks it's modern) and which company/person made it. Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum Samantha.

Pretty sure it was made by Bergdala, should be able to find confirmation if you search here with that name and maybe "obelisk".
