Topic: Holmegaard - Mistaken Identity...

Yes, the base is green. Casing dark colours in lighter coloured glass is a fairly typical Bo Borgstrom design motif.

I've got one of those, or one very similar, the rim wasn't finished properly either.

I'm getting the general feeling that anything with a white interior is Holmegaard, but of course it isn't.

Saying that I've done it myself, but without the evil of selling something for what it's not.

Another one often sold as Holmegaard.

This was moved on on a buy it now as Holmegaard at £39.99 though the seller new it was not.

Norleans is a U.S. importer name, I believe.  You can find porcelain pieces also with the Norleans sticker and Japan.

I think someone here posted the history of the company a few months back.

Another one that is often listed as Holmegaard, but is actually Åseda, Bo Borgström:

Here are the Målerås (possibly) glasses:

They're the greenish ones on the left. I'm unsure about the pair on the right (Nic, could these be Holmegaard Copenhagen?)

Could someone confirm that the glasses robbo posted are Målerås, or at least definitely not HG? If so, I can sneak a link into this thread, because the eBay pics have disappeared.

[robbo]

Cathy,

I have the original photos from the auction in the other thread (obviously I can't post them due to copyright). Mine are a size smaller, 70mm high, but the shape and colour *look* the same. I say *look* because without seeing them side by side with the auctioned ones, it's difficult to reach a conclusion. The rim finish is very like the HG Canada glasses I've had. The set in the auction were all labelled.

It shouldn't be *too* long before it's up and ready, as it will only be a basic slip of a thing...

Now where have I heard that before...?

which bit though David? the basic slip of a thing, or the not *too*long bit??

I am reading through all this with great interest, thank you everyone, although how on earth I will retain all this information is another thing.  It is incredible how many variations on a theme there are.
