Title: Tricorn vase with stylised mermaid
Post by: Anne E.B. on May 11, 2012, 04:31:46 PM

I was told this vase was bought from an antique shop in Norway many years ago, but haven't a clue where it was made, but think it is most likely Scandinavian in origin ???  There is a polished pontil mark on the base, and the mermaid is very stylised in design.
Any help would be welcomed :)

She's certainly having a bad hair day  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D
Unfortunately she's not in the same league as the Orrefors mermaid pieces which seem to have been done by different designers.
But I really like the simple shape, although her tail looks a bit like a pineapple :)
