Title: scandinavian print lidded jar
Post by: OxfordElla on November 07, 2011, 12:56:49 AM

This is a scandinavian transfer print jar that I have had for about a year, but i haven't been able to find out any information about it. Please help if you can - i want to use if for a forthcoming charity exhibition

Is there anything we should know that makes you say Scandinavian? Or can we also include American in the search?

Ah! good point! I have no idea where it comes from - I got it last year from the Animal Sanctuary Shop in Summertown, Oxford, which is a very cosmopolitan area where people from all over the world come to work to study/research/work at the university - so literally things from all over the world turn up there.

What I was talking about is print itself - which is clearly of scandinavian origin with the stylized curved bird beak - but very interesting if it is actually american! - I am having a round in the quiz at my vintage event that will be "Scandinavian - or not?" and this would fit in either way -

Thanks - Eleanor

I suggested American because obviously the glas is machine made and decorated in the style of Briard or Higgins or West Virginia - there may be others. Factory blank means t is from a large company. The combo with decoration is not very likely to be Scandinavian.
