Title: Orrefors Expo
Post by: Pinkspoons on September 05, 2016, 06:42:34 PM
I recently bought a few pieces of mostly 1950s Orrefors, a mix of signed expo glass and glass that I know to have been expo designs with either no signature or standard production signatures - but bearing labels that would/should put production to within a handful or so years of their initial introduction.

The attached Ingeborg Lundin expo 'Timglas' vases, for example - designed '53, both unsigned, but bearing a label discontinued ~1959/60 (I think).

Did expo designs flip-flop between being of relatively limited production / being of relatively mass-production if they became popular, or were they merely irregularly signed?

Many thanks for taking a look.
