    A trip to Vinnies this morning turned up a Swedish vase made by Tilgmans: Tilgman Keramik. The factory was set up by a German émigré in 1948 at Utbynäs near Göteborg. His name was Paul Harald "Harry" Tilgmann (1904 - 1974). Harry had 16 employees involved in ceramics manufacturing and in 1953 he hired a Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki who began experiments with "sgraffito techniques". At the end of 1957 production moved to a new factory in Kortedala and the number of employees rose to 25 people.

    In the mid-1960s, the firm grew and had approximately 80 employees with another branch for manufacture in Sollebrunn. Later on in the 70's Harry even opened a factory in Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

    The factories closed with Harry's death in 1974 although his daughter in law opened up a factory in 1987: Marianne Tilgman Keramik.

    Love the CHAMOTTE texture ..... extremely fragile.

    The red & turquoise lustre glaze work well over the heavy sgraffito decoration.

    It is 17 cm or 6.7" tall.
    Impressed no. 674, factory mark & Made in Sweden.

      Nice piece, I met a descendent of Charles Arthur Stone the other day.
      Stones Pottery was located at Coorparoo not far from where my Grandparents lived.
      She is selling some this week from her deceased Mother' collection. Some nice pieces.
      I don't really think this is against the sites' policy but can give you her number if you are interested? Nigel 0402119757

      Another fantastic vase & great research but I really love the mouse one thing though what is he suppose to be sitting on wrong colour for a chunk of cheese. Were was CW for me when I was selling all my lovely items a few years back yes I know we cannot sell on here but I could of displayed for a short time then put it on a site for sale you all would of had a ball. Keep them coming kevin & I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

      Rather than cheese it's a chestnut, ZOWIE !!!
      Not the type of thing we normally see in OZ !!!!
