Topic: Coquille Flygsfors 59

[Christel]

I'm trying to find some information about the Coquille Flygsfors 59 that my parents have. I'm not having any luck, admittedly researching things on the internet is not my strength! 
Could anyone tell me about it? I have attached a photo.
Thanks! Christel

Welcome to the board Christel.

Your vase is Swedish and made in 1959 by Flygsfors. Coquille was a range of vases and bowls that were made in a variety of shapes and colours, they were designed in the 1950s by Paul Kedelv.

If you type flygsfors coquille into google and then click images you will see lots more examples.

I can't add much to what John said except to say that having two or the arms pulled down is somewhat unusual. The line was vey successful and quite a few turn up in Canada where they fetch a decent price, although, like most stuff, prices have declined a bit recently.
