Orrefors GL?
Ivo:
Hello
I have acquired (well OK, bought then) an Orrefors bowl in cut crystal with the signature GL 4759-12. It also has a silver on transparent Orre sticker.
G would be Gate but i cannot quite place the L . Can anyone enlighten me?

Lustrousstone:
According to Bill G the silver on clear sticker places it lates 1990s early 2000s, see here
so G is not Gate, unless there's one other than Simon, or they're reissuing
Ivo:
Thanks - the Helen Krantz vases are in current production so it may well be recent - but it is not in the present catalogue. The conclusion that G is not Gate is a bit hasty, I would say. Some of the Gate designs have been in production since 1934!
Lustrousstone:
I did say unless they were reissuing. According to McConnell designer codes were changed in 1970; G for Gate going to SG. Maybe they've changed again because he also says Orrefors stopped sticky labels in 1998 and makes no mention of silver labels. Perhaps he's a tad out of date. Or perhaps L means a reissue
