Well I'm back and yes I had a very good time - will report on that elsewhere.

It's a pity that Bill Geary has not been around as he is the best man to answer queries on Orrefors signing. I can only answer in general terms.

In production glass, article numbers are sequential by design, so you can (use the book) to find out when it was designed - not when it was produced. The last digits serve to identify the size of various sizes of the same article: /11 would be 11 cms. Not sure if this item was numbered and signed in the usual way - the "of" is a bit brief for a major early item, so who knows?

If you really want to get to the last detail you'll need to get the Orrefors production catalogues and identify the model and the matching number.

Thanks Ivo!

Glad you are back and had a successful trip.
