Is it a Per Lütken bowl, for Holmegaard?

Not Holmegaard.
As far as I know pieces in this style have been made all around the world, so I am rather clueless about a maker...

Hi cherryt, may we see pics of the base please?
I am wondering if they could be Flygsfors?
Have you Googled it to see if they look like yours?
-
Number one is ikea number two is flygsfors and signed in the bottom in full- if it isn't then it is not...
-
I have a very similiar piece I bought in the Czech Republic in the early 80's that isn't signed.
-
There are some inscriptions on the bottom, the large one says magnor, the smaller one is impossible, will try and get a pic. These were given to me, just curious about them, think they look great on my unit though!
-
The smaller one does look like Flygsfors, if so it is likely signed in one of two ways.
Firstly, on opposite sides of the base it will be signed "Flygsfors" and "Coquille". Secondly, again on opposite sides of the base "Flygsfors" and "Kedelv" with a two figure date (such as 56 for 1956).

Interesting that your large one is signed, Cherry. I have an amber-ish coloured one the same shape which doesn't appear to be marked at all, but which matches pieces known to have been sold through IKEA, as Ivo said above. Magnor is a Norwegian glassmaker, of course, so IKEA retailing their glass is unsurprising. :)
-
thank you everyone, I will try and decifer the small one, or get a good pic
-
Just googled Flygsfors, I think the smaller one is that, they look almost the same, and the signature on the base looks the same too!
-
Hi cherryt, try rubbing talcum powder into the signature before taking the photo, it often helps it to show better, and will wash off easily without harming the glass...have a go.
-
The smaller one does have Flygsfors and Coquille 61 on the base, so thats that one solved! Thanks for your help everyone!
-
Fab! I'll move this over to Scandi now we have them both pinned down, Cherry. :)

Hi.
When Paul Kedelv left Flygsfors, he went to Reimyre Glassworks.
He designed a similar form at Reimyre without the white line around the color which was in the
Flygsfor's design.
Another option.
