Very nice! I remember that he designed these thick "fishtank" vases that are pretty valuable, but I'm not familiar with these. Let me check eBay........... Okay, I didn't find any like this, but the fishtank vases are going for 3-400. This would probably do well, that sticker is a good asset for it.

Hi BELLIN! Found this post about Hald and Orrefors. I don't think this label was used in the 1930's. In the catalogs I've seen it does not look like this at that time. The label on your vase, I think was not used before middle or late 1950s? Maybe later? In the catalog from 1952 there is a vase similar to yours, not 4 7/8" but 4" high in a steel blue color, and designed by Edwin Ohrstrom. Produced at Orrefors-Sandvik, a glassworks in Hovmantorp, owned by Orrefors. Maybe there is a similar vase by Hald from 1930's, but I have not found any in the Orrefors catalogues from 1932, -33, -34, -35, -36, -37, -39, -40, -41, -44, -45/46, -54, -56, -59 -60 wich I have looked at. I have som catalogues from Orrefors' Sandvik unit and in the one from 1952 there is a similar vase by Ohrstrom, number FS 1617. FS stands for Ohrstrom. If this is a Hald or Ohrstrom vase, I can not answer surely, the size does not match and the color here seems more like dark green? The seller maybe have other informations that state this for a Hald design? It could also be so that the vase was produced in other sizes and colours after 1952? The labels used in 1952 seems not match this later label either.
thankyou rebessin for clearing this up for me . wow thankyou for your knowledge again!! ill change that!!!
Thanyou petey for the love!!!!
Thankyou bratjdd for the love!!!
