Topic: Cobalt blue Controlled bubble vase with tapered top

[Murano54]

Hi all , this one is baffling me . Very very similar and Found a few examples on the www  attributed to the great Gunnel Nyman of Finland . Not one of her colours though . Its very heavy for its size , polished flat base , unsigned , dark cobalt blue colourway and 28cm h x 8w .Any help greatly appreciated , cheers Gary

Possibly related to these two, when trying to research them I found nothing conclusive. Each has a polished pontil mark.

For what it is worth I ruled out Leerdam - the bubble arrangement is not precise enough and is not formed in quite the same way.

Kastrup and Magnor might be worth a look......I haven't got my books with me but can have a look next week when I get home......assuming you haven't solved these by then!

Thanks all for your replies , getting very close i think .Maybe also Sven Palmquist Kraka for Orrefors ?

[Murano54]

Still unidentified , any help appreciated .

Magnor is a good shout for yours Gary, it can take a while to positively identify some items.

Absolutely not Kraka. Sorry.
This is what Kraka looks like. It's a smokier blue than your vase with yellow at the base, the bubbles are much smaller and in a fine, curved veil and the glass is not as thick as your piece.

Gary, could you post a picture of the bottom half of the vase taken straight on to show the transition between blue and clear layers more clearly.  Thanks Cat

Hello
My first idea was Magnor as well, but in the end I‘m more no....no Magnor

Magnolia is more controlled and lighter in shape and rim, but maybe your foto has not given all the Beauty .

Sorry, no really idea who is the maker. I think Scandinavian is a god idea, but on the other hand this type was produced from a lot of different makers.
