Title: A signed smoked glass vase - ID = Nuutajaarvi Notsjo
Post by: jeanne on June 16, 2018, 07:27:35 PM

Hello again
This is another item donated to our charity for sale. It is signed but I am unable to identify the signature. It is 18 cm tall. Help please.

(Somebody) Franck, Nuutajaarvi Notsjo. :)

Some info here.

I know the Nuutajaarvi bit, but I'm not so familiar with the names.

Looks like a Kaj Franck Soap Bubble, quite a desirable item and a lovely donation...

Wow, that's much better and much more interesting info. Greg.
Thanks. :)

(I thought Kaj Franck was Flygsfors. I get his name mixed up with Paul Kedelv, don't ask me why.  :-[ )
