Topic: Another milk glass mystery. Strange decoration Skruf Edenfalk?

[BJB]

I have had this in the back of a cupboard for ages, meaning to ask about it, and have finally taken the photo!

It looks Swedish with funny line decoration, rather like Michael Bang, but I am not sure if anthing was made in milk glass.

Any ideas?

Skruf Edenfalk I think.

Hi Ivo,

Many thanks for the ID, I did wonder if it was Kastrup, as I have had a green bottle with a plaque on the front with the same sort of decoration, and it still had its label on, so I knew who made that one!

Is milk glass very common in the Scandinavian countries? I know it is in the USA, and was in the UK about 100 years ago.

just wait for someone to confirm or deny. I've never seen Bang in this style, and I have a clear goblet marked with a crowned S.

Hi Ivo,

Yes that looks like it, very simple decoration but very effective.

I have looked all over it but can't see any marks.

I can add a snippet of information. I have a couple of pieces of iridised milk glass made by Riihimaki circa 1920-30s. I would consider their iridised milk glass to be very scarce.

Oh Glen,

Thanks for that, my other half now thinks I've gone mad as I have just been looking for the sun to see what happens with this one and the masonic one when I hold them up to the light, as to be honest I thought they were similar.

But now I have them both out together I can see they are completely different, the Skruf one has a blue tint but does have an orange fire around the rim when held up to the light, and feels warmer to the touch than the Victorian one. That feels solid and dense, more like pottery and shows no other colour. It is very hard to describe so I hope you know what I am babbling on about 

Would you think it dates from the 1950's with the decoration?

In addition, many moons later....
Just bought one of these in clear glass and noticed it is a little bigger than the one I have in opaque white glass, almost 2cm taller and a little bigger in diameter.
I wonder how many more colours they were made in?

I was confused for a moment until I realised BJB and Glassobsessed were the same Barbara, perhaps Anne could change one of your names for the other!
