Eda bowl - when would this date from?
josordoni:
I have a lovely smokey grey Eda bowl (this is mine btw - not for sale unless The Beloved nags too much, because he hates it...)
It is signed Eda 31, would this be the year? It is a heavy beast of a piece, with a wonderful incised pattern, very Scandinavian I think. Does any particular designer come to mind to anyone? I really can't find anything at all about Eda. I have scoured the net to no avail.
Is this a valuable piece? In rough terms I mean?
Can I use it for trifle or is it too valuable for that?
Here are the links - I have also put bigger pics up on my website so you can see the sig easier, it is very faintly scribed.

thank you all for any help.
Della:
IMHO 31 would be the year, yes.
According to Ivo's book Eda, Sweden (1835-1953). I can't help with much more, sorry.
Lovely piece of glass though :P
josordoni:
Thanks ! I have a copy of Ivo's little book on its way (I hope) soon, so will be able to look more stuff up myself.
It is a rather good shape and pattern though, I love it. I wonder why there is so little info to be found about Eda? It isn't that rare is it?
Della:
There is quiet a bit of info in Ivo's book about Eda, but it would take a while to type it all out, but he does say that.
