MMMmmm , yummy , this I like very much , exvellent piece.

Here's an interesting link - courtesy of a post on the GMB - showing the variety of Hoglund's designs (pls note: the weird naive man sculpture thing is not an Erik Hoglund design - roughly translating one of the subsequent posts it would appear to be a design by Ebbe Hoglund, not Erik).

I'm a member of the Precis en Sån forum - an incredibly useful resource for Swedish glass.

Hi - hope someone can help identify this large handmade (blown I think) green glass platter - about 27.5cm in diameter?



Marked H 883/275



Thanks

Erik Höglund for Boda. Nice find!

Oh yippee!!!

Thanks Nic!!

Lovely, I like your olive green charger, I recently bought a mug in that colour (yet to arrive).

Here's an even larger one (an impractical 38cm) in a blue grey sort of colour with very small bubbles:

Bull Suncatcher designed by Hoglund

Picked this up at a charity shop and have tried to find the artist but no luck so far. Anyone recognise the initials or the cat?

I think it's inscribed P.L.H. 7.11/3 - I'm assuming the numbers are the date of manufacture rather than signifying a limited edition.

boda, erik höglund it is

Woohoo! Thank you.

Any info on ID for this large Vase appreciated. Thanks

Its green glass with random bubble inclusions, clear cased to outside.
Ground pontil mark on base with lots of contact wear so been around a while.
The pontil mark has a number engraved which is  H752-180

I could be wrong, but I think it's Spanish recycled glass. A friend bought something similar - lidded glass pot with a cat face, in blue - which she thought was Dartington, but turned out to be Spanish glass.

Swedish, Erik Höglund for Boda. From the 1960s (I think).
Very nice! :-)

Michael

Yup. Very definitely Hoglund for Boda - I've had drinking glasses in the same design (and the signature is a give-away).

The /180 part of the number refers to the size, either diameter or height, in this case presumably it is around 18cm tall.

Thanks folks for the ID, yes 18cm tall. Sorry for the late reply... very much appreciate the help.
