Scandinavian (?) plaque, no markings or labels
« on: March 03, 2020, 05:31:55 PM »
Hi all!
I am researching this glass plaque. It is an irregular oval shape, measures 8" (20.5 cm) x 4.5" (11.5 cm), and approx. 1cm thick. There's no label or marks. It is smooth on one side and the pattern is indented on the other.

I know nothing about glass other than what a good deal of time on Google image search has taught me  ;D .

I haven't found an image of this plaque, or another object with the same design on it. It feels very Scandinavian though, and I have seen echoes in Ann Warff/Kosta Boda, and quite a bit specifically in some Finnish work, Lasisepat Mantsala, Oiva Toikka….

It could of course be IKEA c.2017  :D

If anyone could help I would be very grateful :)
Cheryl

Hello
My first idea was pukeberg Sweden.   I found something quite similar

Maybe if you dig deeper you may find yours at pukeberg

Hello and welcome.

It reminds me of this piece......might be worth a look, if you haven't already ruled out Pukeberg

Thankyou both so much!
So quick and right on target!
I looked at the etsy description and it said one of a set of 4 plates, each with a different design, so I image searched under Pukeberg 4 glass plates - and sure enough, there it is!!!

I have been scratching my head for weeks over this!
Ace detective team, thankyou!

Oh, and whilst looking at background on Pukeberg, I noticed that Ann Wolff/Warff worked there late 1950s, early 1960s. Too early for these, but maybe I was on the right track with some influences going on there...
