      So it is a Strombergshyttan piece?
    2. Mart9911 Mart9911, 11 years ago
      Yes, Vetraio50. It's about 30cm tall and very heavy. The photo really doesn't do it justice! Unbelievably detailed work-I've been told possibly engraved by Ragnor Bergqvist at Strombergshyttan.

      Nice piece! Good that I could help you with the information on this vase! An early Nylund design from Strömbergshyttan. Curved tops of vases found in much of his pottery from the 1950s as well

      Those 2 words are german and mean " years with" if I read it correctly!!

      Yes, it reads '25 years with PENTA' (which in itself means 'five')...
