Orrefors with unusual inscription

(1/1)

Lee M:
Hi

I recently picked up a few items in an auction joblot, one of which is a fairly mundane Orrefors vase. It stands about 6.5 inches tall (16cms) and has the following inscribed OF - MHF 1964 II:a pris.......... which strikes me as being a little unusual. Was it a 2nd place prize ?, if so was it awarded within Orrefors (Hence the OF-MHF inscription). If that is indeed the case - why is it in French ?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter - sorry for the poor quality 2nd photo

Orrefors has always offered engraving for awards etc but it equally could have been engraved by a third party. Impossible to say for sure.

Ivo:
Pris is Swedish for prize.
