Title: Mystery 'Daisy' Decanter with cork stopper, dartington? Finnish? Help!
Post by: courtney on June 13, 2009, 08:58:16 AM

Hi All,

I found this decanter recently and i am not sure who the manufacturer/designer might be. It has a cork and metal ring-pull stopper, a stylised 'daisy' design on both sides and the bottom edge has been ground smooth. It has no markings or stickers.
Any help would be much appreciated :^))

The cork stopper with the coin (or metal disk) is generic for Scandinavia and you will find most Swedish glass houses used it - as did Holmegaard. But I have never seen one from Finland.

It's not Dartington. Their cork stoppers were just lumps of cork, apart from the glass being wrong.

Hi All,

Just to update i have since identified the bottle as being by Pukeberg, Sweden. I found another example online at the tradera trading site. Still not sure who might be the designer.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I can add that the Scandanavian style stopper of cork with a ring-pull was also used by Eva Hoglund, working in Australia.
I have a small twisted bottle, but it's packed up in the attic.
