Hi all :-)

I've just picked up a little Strombergshytten vase, from my local charity shop, and am hoping someone can decipher the final bit of the engraved code, and/or give me a date?

The engraving reads: "Strombergshytten B882 C859".

The B882 refers to the vase shape I understand, but I don't know what the last bit is.

Photos below.

TIA

Steve

In the Strombergshyttan notes in the smoke and ice book, it puts the date of manufacture of your vase at between 1954 and 1959.
It also says the engraving has a design code consisting of a letter and a series of numbers.
Hope this is of some use.

Steve in Cumbria:
Thank you Tim - great info! It's about as old as me then... but in way better condition ;-)

So to clarify, the first part of the code, B882, refers to the vase shape, and the second part, C859, refers to the design, i.e. the Viking Longship in this case... yes?

essi:
That's as i understand it.
I don't think you ever get to find out who actually engraved the glass.
There were so many designs to choose from i suppose they needed a number that big.
Similar vintage to me as well.

Thanks Tim - you're a star!
