Title: need ID help with a Kosta vase an another (scandinavian?) vase
Post by: glassmanet on December 02, 2014, 12:51:45 PM
hello community,
I have two questions, one about the Kosta vase (left on the picture) plus the unknown orange vase (right on the picture)

  • the Kosta vase is signed "KOSTA 0 2649" (see picture) and in a previous thread on a vicke lindstrand vase I already learned that "the 0 indicates that it belonged to an old stock that Kosta sold out at some point." my question here is: can anybody confirm that the current piece also is by vicke lindstrand - or does anybody have an alternative idea of who might have been designing this vase?
  • can anybody help ID the orange vase? my best guess is that it is something swedish like alsterfors.

    • any help is much appreciated!

    best regards
    glassmanet

    A similar Empoli vase in this link... scroll right down to the bottom of the page.

    So many other  different factories including ones from Germany and China and Japan also copied this design.
