Title: Stromberg Vase ? with Engraved Antelope / Gazelle ?
Post by: Novasonic on July 30, 2014, 06:27:08 AM

Hi

I Recently found this light blue tinged vase.  It's 6 3/4" high and thick walled with thick rounded rim & an engraved abstract antelope or Gazelle on the front.  The base is polished, but no markings at all.

It looks like a Stromberg style but not sure - can anyone help ?

Appreciative thanks

Rob

I can see the Stromberg influence, but the the shape of the vase and the quality the engraving doesn't say Stromberg to me.  I've attached a photo of a Stromberg antelope.

Thanks - I agree - it's close to a similar Stromberg pattern I have found but the lack of signature or a more detailed engraving puzzles me.  It seems to be pretty close to Stromberg pattern B936.

Anyone with any further contributions welcome.

Thanks

I cannot prove it but I think it is either Nybro or Smalandshyttan.

Thanks - Still not really able to fully identify it - although Kalmar of Norway seemed to produce very similar vases as well.  The hunt goes on ! :)
