Title: Wall-Hanging Plaque / Cheese Board w/ Abstract Hen Motif. Poss Scandi/German.
Post by: Pinkspoons on May 15, 2017, 12:17:50 PM

Very thick hand-cast glass board with impressed chicken design.

I've not been able to find anything the same from the obvious candidates - Lindshammar, Pukeberg, Wiesenthalhutte, Kosta Boda, and even Nuutatjarvi/Arabia did a range of large animal suncatchers with this manner of design.

you don't give size Stephen  -  but even without knowing that my opinion would be a suncatcher bearing in mind the piercing for some form of hanging arrangement.
Regret can't help with attribution, but you may well be correct with Scandi., or possibly Czech.

Sorry, it's 24cm long, 2cm thick, and 1.3kg. Probably a little large/heavy for a suncatcher, but not entirely inconceivable - it's very decorative, and I have run into some absolute beasts of suncatchers before now.

I've had a few glass cheese boards / chopping boards from Boda and Lindshammar in the past, although both have been much plainer. I've found a Wiesenthalhutte board online with a similar shape, but no decoration.

It's Nic, btw, not Stephen. ;)

thanks Nic -  sorry about the wrong name ;D            it does sound a tad big/heavy for a suncatcher.

I checked Hergiswil, as well as a few of the smaller Finnish glassworks with a history of cast glass (Muurla, Lasipat, Humppila, etc.), to no avail.

I'll have a look for Ingridglas now.
