Glass / Re: Teal/Blue Bowl - Any thoughts?
« Last post by Put-Lug on September 29, 2025, 02:57:16 PM »
I see what you mean but the Strombergshytten looks much more ‘free flowing’ whilst mine is much more angular if you know what I mean!

Thank you for looking!

Glass / Orrefors Bowl - Is this Watefall?
« Last post by Birkyc on September 28, 2025, 08:55:40 PM »
I'm trying to nail down the pattern name for this Orrefors bowl, I've seen it referred to as Waterfall but cannot find what I would call a reliable attribution, especially given dates quoted ranging from the 1940s to the 1980s as well as being referred to by other names.

I would be grateful if someone could provide an accurate attribution for it.

The bowl is 190mm (7.5") maximum diameter and maximum height of 102mm (4"), the base diameter is roughly 85mm (3.25"), weighs a hefty 3.3kg.

Signed on the base Orrefors, and the number F2671-131.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Malta Glass / Mdina Ming bowl
« Last post by Ysala on September 28, 2025, 09:43:59 AM »
Hi everyone,

it's been a while but the small collection is still growing and some Maltese glass has been added to my mainly Scandinavian pieces. 

I found this bowl on a fleamarket. It weighs 858g and has a hight of 97mm. It's not round with 170x200mm and it is not signed, neither does it have a label.

The shape seems a bit unusual so I thought I'd share it here.

Have a wonderful weekend :)

The shape etc reminds me of this from Strombergshytten
but I don't know if they did this colour and I'm not sure whether it would have been signed  :-\

British & Irish Glass / Re: Latest Royal Brierley Studio find.

Yes in two parts but not very stable, the slightest touch would knock it over, probably why it's the first one I've ever seen.

So it's the "small" one you have? Is it in two bits or one? The diagram makes it look as if it is two, so there would be a base to the bottom part and the globe bit would sit on top?
I rather like it. I like that the flame of the candle is enclosed and thus less likely to set things (like my sleeves) alight.  :)
But it would stop me from being able to play with the molten wax.  >:(  ;D

Glass / Teal/Blue Bowl - Any thoughts?
« Last post by Put-Lug on September 25, 2025, 03:40:54 PM »
Hi - Anyone know anything about this lovely bowl?

It is more petrol/ teal colour rather than straight forward blue.  Base is polished and slightly concave.

Closest I can find is the Nuutajarvi Notsjo Bowl by Kaj Franck but it is definitely not that...!

Any help gratefully received...

Many thanks all!

Glass / Wuidart decanter
« Last post by Keith Mick on September 25, 2025, 11:05:55 AM »
Hi
Purchased this square dumpy decanter at a car boot. Not really my sort of thing but  it has a Wuidart label. It's a basic decanter which was blown into a two piece mould and fitted for a large solid ball stopper. Polished pontil on the base. 19cm tall bottle without stopper.
From online searches Wuidart were formed by a Belgian buyout of Elfverson (importers of Scandinavian glass) with some involvement of Ronald Stennet Wilson and some production by Whitefriars following.
My decanter it seems was made in Sweden however, the label although not really legible at the bottom appears to be a match for others online which read Made in Sweden.
Anyone have ideas on who the maker was and when, seems like Wuidart finished early 1960s.
Cheers
Keith
