Designed in 1952 by Per Lutken for Holmegaard (Denmark), the vases are called knogle (bone) vases, a name which references their unusual shape. They have a bit of a confusing history though, because most sites will tell you that the design never went into ‘full’ production and that manufacturing was taken over by the Swedish company, Aseda. The confusing part though, is that supposedly the Aseda versions have bubbles in the bases, whereas the Holmegaard versions are plain.
Also Humppila lasi supposed to make them too.....
And too be more confusing to me is that I have not seen another with these stripes blue and red (which looks black in some lights. )
So at the end of the day I can’t say for certain who made it!

It really is a beauty, MARTY!
Turned out more interesting than I thought it would be . Love a good mystory!
Yeah.....All I have seen have bubbles in the base, so I am ??
Dats whart I wanna know!
You know I always thought Kedelv at Flygsfors did them first!
I think this is the best I've ever seen Marty - just love the lines in it and the form itself is perfect.
As an aside the Japanese did a "good" Aseda copy in the 70s, and I see the market is flooded with Chinese ones now. I saw them at a florist wholesalers, well made but with a concave base, for $6 each. Hmmm
Hi Racer 4 4 , I did look at Flygsfors as well but still not striped
Dam those copies ! (note I did not use the words that Clive Palmer did : ) )
This has a very solid polished base.
Paul Kedelv did do some striprey other things so perhaps a clue though his tops look different
stunning vase Ozmarty!!! :)
At first I thought it was a plate to my surprise it's a stunning vase
