Ekenäs Glasbruk
These kingfisher blue and dark amber vases have a cylinder shaped base. They are 200mm ( 7 & 7/8ths inches) and
160mm (6 & 5/16ths of an inch) tall. They were made in Sweden by Ekenäs Glasbruk. The bases have coloured cores which
have been encased in clear glass. The bottom of the bases are smooth and concave. The stems are the same colour as the core.
The bubbles are a small to medium size and fairly evenly spaced, although some appear to go round the base others are on
more of an angle. One of the vases has a small round white label with the words "MADE IN SWEDEN" in blue. (See images below)
The following image and information was kindly supplied by John McKenzie in New Zealand who had some of these vases
with more informative labels. These showed that the vases were made by Ekenäs Glasbruk, Sweden before 1970.
Ekenäs opened in 1917, and closed down in 1976 (last notable designers were J.O. Lake and Michael Bang).
The amber vase is 16 cm, blue vase is 20cm, largest blue is 24 cm. Labels are plain oblong black and silver
