Title: Ebay purchase possible orrefors??
Post by: BRADBURY7308 on September 07, 2009, 08:02:55 PM

Had day off work today ended up spending half of it behind the computer on ebay looking at glass, When i saw this lovely vase that i just had too have it didnt have a makers mark but i felt it was nice quality and very attractive so decided to bid i was lucky enough to win at i felt a fairly hefty price but as i said id fallen into a kind of glass zone and needed to own it lol.... anyway my first thought was it is orrefors hope nobody else on here bid if so sorry.... but does anybody know what make it is??? Thanks in advance chez . :rn:

I'm no expert on Scandi' glass but it might be Stromberg,please don't quote me on that there are plenty of GMB members who will put me right,Keith.

It looks a bit like Max Verboeket's work for Maastricht, but...not sure.  I AM sure we've had one of these on the GMB before, maybe about 3/4 months ago, but i can't find it now.  :cry:

Hi:
My first reaction was that it bears a moderate similarity to a series Vicke Lindstrand did for Kosta: the same streak of colour, the same ground out pontil, sometimes called the Contour or Kontur line. I can't locate a triangular one listed anywhere and the piece isn't signed so I'm offering this quite tentatively. I searched for the Max Verboeket vase in the earlier posts but most of the relevant pictures have gone. I still think it looks more like Lindstrand than Verboeket. Not Stroberghsyttan.

I have a piece of stromberg and thought it might not be stromberg because there glass is very heavy!! Youve hit the nail on the head as to verboeket his piece's seem a little more manipulated on the whole the ones ive seen anyway and ive read there mostly always signed. Linstrand did pop into my head also but i thought it would of been signed didnt he sign most of his work?? Seems quite a decent piece, And would have thought the designer might have wanted too sign it!! Its a mystery!!thanks for having a look !! :thup:

I have several Max Verboekets all signed and all with two or three colours . A friend of mine who is a member on this forum has one just like yours or maybe it is now yours .
