Shapes:
Vase, 6" (as above)
|
Colours:
Marigold
|
Found in Sweden, this unusual marigold vase stands 6 inches high and has a ground base. The pinched-in and flared neck shaping is typical of the hand finishing carried out on many of Swedish maker, Eda Glasbruk's, vases.
The distinctive moulded pattern which features an elongated oval and circle, flanked by a long groove (and topped off with another circle) is shown clearly on the Eda 1929 catalogue illustration of the pitcher in this pattern, named Hirsch.
As well as the pitcher shape, two carafes were also shown in the Hirsch pattern. The typical pattern numbering shown on the pitcher illustration, 162 - 64, indicates that three sizes of pitcher were made (162, 163 and 164). The numbers allocated to the three shapes shown in the Hirsch pattern range suggest that at least two, possibly three, other shapes were produced in the Hirsch design but were not illustrated.
