Title: Not Erik Hoglund - Lobeco Italy
Post by: paradisetrader on October 11, 2014, 09:09:08 AM
According to this

the wanna-be look-alike Erik Hoglund "people" decanters were made by Lobeco of Italy.
Sounds quite feasible but am trying to verify.

Not heard of the company before - presume Empoli area of Italy
2 Items with labels found but poss a Trade name or trade mark ?
Any info appreciated.

Here's a couple of unrelated Lobeco items

The entity calling itself "Action-Lobeco" seems to be an importer
This labeled non-glass item from Japan

But there maybe a glass company called just "Lobeco" - unlikely but possible
