Scandinavian Glass / Re: Orrefors engraved vase - designer?
« Last post by flying free on March 01, 2025, 12:39:23 PM »Could the B be the initial for the engraver?
This is a vase in the V&A designed by Lindstrand and engraved by Emil Goldmann - see the blurb further down for the signed letters and numbers on the vase. The engravers initials are at the end of the sequence:
https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O6158/the-diver-vase-lindstrand-vicke/
Is there another initial worn away after the B maybe? - just asking because B relates to Birger Gustavsson and dates are 1923-1927:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200112233107/http://glassfromsweden.com/orrefors-engraved-glass-engravers-list.html
There is some interesting information here on the numbers/letters and dating. This item is dated 1966 but says it was designed in 1921 for example:

Possibly yours was designed by Lindstrand but engraved by someone else?

there is a downloadable software on glass message board which one of the moderators might
be able to help with then you can upload some more pictures. Base pictures always help too.

This is for Vike Lindstrand.
The catalogue is from the year 1937. Thanks M, you working out the the date code saved me some time looking.

Glass Paperweights / Purple Glass Flower Paperweight - Any idea of maker ?
« Last post by Novasonic on March 01, 2025, 08:31:25 AM »Hi everyone,
I have this purple hued Glass paperweight with a lampworked? glass flower inside on a green ground with central bubble. It's 3" high x 2.75" diameter.
I am struggling to identify this. Plenty of wear on a flat base
Can anyone aside for a maker ? I did wonder if it was a Maltese Mtarfa weight although I can't find one similar. No visible sign of a signature.
Any help much appreciated !
Thanks

The dots between the numbers are a bit confusing.
B seems to be for Gunnar Cyren though? and he wasn't around designing in 1937??

Scandinavian Glass / Orrefors engraved vase - designer?
« Last post by neil53 on February 28, 2025, 02:25:00 PM »Hi does anybody recognise the designer from the signature on this vase? Details:
"This is an Orrefors of Sweden etched lead crystal vase, model 1802, designed (we think, please see reference to signature below) by Vicke Lindstrand, the design dating from the 1930s. The vase is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with use. The vase is square when viewed from above, measuring 11.5 cm (4.6 inches) across the top rim. The vase is made in clear glass and tapers as it descends, the base measuring 7 cm (2.8 inches) across. The vase is decorated with two etched fish, a fishing net and small polished "bubbles" within lateral optically ribbed glass. The glass alternately thickens and lessens to create the appearance of water. The vase is 17 cm (6.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a scratched signature that we think reads "Orrefors L 1802 d 3 B". Heavy lead glass. It weighs in at 1.34 kg. (~ 3 lb.).
Thanks in anticipation, Neil
