Title: Flygsfors Bowl?
Post by: The Glass Staircase on June 07, 2017, 11:24:36 AM

Hi all,

I purchased this bowl today thinking it could possibly be Flygsfors, any ideas if it is? On closer inspection I'm not too sure to be honest. It's not signed and the colour doesn't go right to the edge like other one's I've googled but the way the rim is finished seems to be similar  ???

Height - 17 cm
Length - 20.5 cm
Width - 18 cm
Weighs - 1025 grams

Any input greatly appreciated!

Adam

I think Flygsfors coquille bowls always have a white line around the main colour and are signed.  Similar bowls were made by several companies, and I've had several Bayel (France) bowls in the past.
However, someone more knowledgeable will confirm :)

Thanks for the reply Anne. The coquille range did spring to mind but I was under the impression that there were other ranges from Flygsfors that were similar in style but without the opaque band?

I've googled reijmyre, magnor, hadeland, murano and morgantown and the magnor bowls look the closest match although the shape of their freeform bowls I've came across are different

Another possibility would be Ryd but Bayel would be favourite given the volume they produced.
