Hi Culverwood,

The maker is Orrefors, which is Swedish. The "of" is merely a shortened way of referring to Orresfors, and 95 is likely to be the date.

Why not goggle the name to get a bit more info, or put it into the search box here?

BTW, one of your images isn't showing, so it's difficult to give an id of the range.
