Only my second piece in yellow and a piece that may well have escaped the quality control ! wonky top and extra thick rim :o ;D ;D
-
Does the second piece have the RB acid-stamp, Keith? Strange that one should have been released into the wild, but it could have been released as a second. Being so wonky it does make me wonder why it wasn't scrapped.
-
No mark to the base, there are remains of a label but it's to far gone to read, 99.9 % sure it's RB'y Studio, colour, shape etc... maybe it ' walked' out under someone's coat ? ::) ;D
-
Now that is highly likely! I've come across some strange Chance glass - the suncatchers - that had stickers, so maybe the person who 'borrowed' this vase stuck some labels on as well.
-
The neck has certainly not been finished, half is still unpolished and there is a line showing, I presume, where the neck should have been cut back to.
-
Just as likely to have been sold through the factory shop as a second IMHO. Certainly they were selling seconds when I went there.
That could also explain a label, but no mark on the base.
Orresfors actually had a different label that they used for seconds - of course once that's gone we get this sort of problem ???
Cheers, Nigel

Think you're probably right, although this might qualify as a 'third' instead of a 'second' ::) ;D ;D
