These items were first produced during mid 1920s into the 30s and 40s. Pukeberg is located in the Smaland region of Sweden in Nybro. Part of a chain of glass houses that number many long term companies, who survived to this day.
Their post war manufacture was manned by Harald Notini a remarkable designer and director, who created some splendid lamps as well as decorative art glass items, mostly utilitarian but with much flair.
My interest is still going strong after a couple of years. It is a great challenge to find and document these pieces.
All are beautiful, I esp love his opaline blue glass
Nice looking collection.
I'm curious about the blue goblet in the second photo, next to the candleholders.
IVIMA Glass of Portugal has been making glassware in that particular pattern, including the goblet, in many colors, including opaque versions, which I remember from the 1960s on. Below if a photo showing the goblet in a different color and a comport made by flaring out the top of the goblet.

The comports are often incorrectly blamed on Fenton or listed as the English Hobnail pattern.
Thank you for the loves and comments.

The first grouping are for an auction lot in Sweden that contained 3 Pukeberg items, and 2 non identified, the second grouping is a museum exhibit in the Smaland Sweden region.
Could well be the Portugal glass company you mentionned. I find a huge amount of similar glass design pieces, on both sides of the Atlantic. So much that it is baffling to identify and date. Thank you.
Thank you for the reply, truthordare.
It took me a long time to identify IVIMA Glass and was wondering if they like so many others somehow ended up with the molds of another glass company and made remakes and if I needed to add that to my notes. I'm often make those type of discoveries, so I thought I would check.
