Title: Scandanavian Glass - Holmegaard/Alsterfors?
Post by: speckledjim on March 17, 2011, 10:15:51 AM

Can anyone identify this particular piece? It's obviously Scandanavian, but I'd like information on the maker, date of production and range if possible. It's roughly 14" high and has white inner casing and a flat smooth milled edge around the rim.

I'm also open to reasonable offers to sell it if anyone in the UK/Europe is interested - condition is A1.

Hiya, I can't say I've ever seen a labelled example, but it reminds be a bit of this Lindshammar design: [link (http://www.smagarde.nu/itempics/140/5239/13%20mars%20013.jpg)]

Could also be Alsterfors, Ryd, or even Polish!   Hopefully someone else will know more :X:

wouldn't say this is definitely Scandinavian at present, a lot of similar designs coming from Eastern Europe and the far east.

Do you have a picture of the base..?

Thanks for the replies Wayne and GBarfoot. I had never even considered Lindshammer or RYD to be honest but it does seem plausible. Here's the bottom of the vase if it if you think it'll help. It's polished with smooth rings running around the base.
