Title: Help ID, possible Pukeberg vaseline
Post by: oklahomasong on March 25, 2010, 10:43:13 PM

It was suggested, but without any confirmation, that this plate and glass may be vaseline Pukeberg from possibly the 1930s.
I'm trying to verify that and also trying to find a pattern name.  
The plate from tip to tip is 21 cm.  The glass has a 5.5 cm square base and stands 9.75 cm. tall.  
It has a nice ring to the glass when tapped.
They are a golden amber with a tint of green.
They glow brilliantly under a blacklight.

could very well be both from the colour and from the design. But there does not seem to be a lot of documentation, so a firm attribution may not be possible.

Very nice; I have a circular plate in a similar pattern & colour but I haven't been able to identify it yet. I must admit I'd never thought of Pukeberg, rather I suspected Riihimaki as the colour is very similar to my Uranium Rengas vase. Will post a photo later :)

Here's my plate. Diameter is 19.8 cm.

Hope you can see this one - this is the light blue version of the lion plate, but it also exists in yellowish amber with a robust uranium content - quite like the above. This one is a factory design from the early thirties - at Reijmyre !

Thanks for that Ivo! I have a Uranium plate with the same border but without the lion. Great to find out who made it :)

Gail, your set was indeed made by Pukeberg Glass.  Here is the info you need:

Pukeberg Glasbruk, Sweden 1910-1920, designed by Harald Notini.  Information obtained from Ami Fransson from ZERO INTERIOR/PUKEBERG GLASBRUK (Documented in Glowing Report, July 2007, pg. 1, the official publication of VASELINE GLASS COLLECTORS, INC.)

It is also listed that way in my ERRATA LIST (items 869-871):

Mr. Vaseline Glass

p.s.  All the other pieces on this page are also PUKEBERG!

This just is not letting me post them... I will try two pics here and see if it will let me post another in a separate message.
