Stromberg B849? Gunnar Nyland?
« on: December 24, 2019, 05:12:14 PM »
So I found this today. I know it's Stromberg, I think it's pattern B849 or B879. My first thought was Gunnar Nyland but I read that some of these patterns are actually by Asta Stromberg. Anyone know more?
Thanks
J

Hello Jeffington. Quite heavy to say which designer, Stromberg never signed with designer. B only says it is a Vase and the number tells you something about the year. 1954 the last Vase number was 642 1962 the number 974, so the 8xx must be something about 1960 . In that Time Gunnar and Asta both worked as designer. Gunnar left round about 1965 Stromberg. Maybe somebody knows more, so far I can‘t help🙁🎄

Me again. I just looked to all Stromberg pieces I could find, Asta and Gerda usually a much sharper in rims, so my tip would be Gunnar Nyland

Thanks Blue. I knew about b being for blomvase but not about the numbering system, nor the rim finish of different designers. It's my first piece of Stromberg (normally out of my price range) so have had little impetus to go deep into it. I would love a sharks tooth. Maybe one day...
