Antique and vintage items make nicer than new gifts
Item
This is an extremely impressive and interesting large, transparent, bottle green vase which oozes the eye-catching style of gorgeous Scandinavian design of the 1950s.
It was produced by the Swedish company Ekenas and attributed to their designer John Onwar Lake. He was the main designer and art director of Ekenas from 1953 until it ceased trading in 1976. He was a sculptor who had worked in ceramics for the Finish firm, Arabia.
The stunning piece is a blown glass object with a bulbous form, turnover rim and an applied band of circular decoration around its neck that works visually inside as well as outside the vase. The outcome is a pleasing, subtle and homogenous shape and style.
The vase has a polished pontil, on to which is hand-engraved the name of the maker and the number L933.
Condition
All
our items are pre-owned and usually range between 10 and 210 years old,
so they inevitably (and reassuringly) show some signs of age and use,
which we always do our best to reflect in our pictures.
Although
some 60 years old, this impressive vase has survived remarkably well. There are no significant chips, cracks or discolouration. All we notice is an small imperfection on the polished pontil where the maker's mark is engraved.
Pricing
Whenever
possible our asking prices are based on either our knowledge of the
genre and rareness or on what similar pieces have been sold for on the international
market, rather than what some sellers are asking, which are usually two
very different things!
You
will normally find that our prices sit somewhere in the middle between
auction and professional dealer prices and the current market. We are
always willing to consider realistic offers.
SHIPPING
We
have a 100pc success rate for over a decade in successfully shipping
fragile antiques and collectables across the UK and the wider World.
We only charge what the Post Office and couriers charge us and subsidise
the cost of packing materials.
International
shipping? Since
Covid, we have started to use eBay's Global Shipping Programme for
packages over 2kg because it has proved to be competitive and reliable.
