Jacob E Bang for Kastrup my 3 capri vases 36 cm, 28,5 cm and 21,5 cm the large one is opticaly blown. ( my 4 new aditions in the living room kitchen window is going to be cleaned tomorrow )
thanks again to austrohung
I also love these!!! Capri is one of the best Bang's latest series (well, in fact theywere the three famous one: Capri, Groen and Opaline). The large one I've also got and is truly amazing, isn't it?
thanks for the loves and austrohung i saw the capri serie in your collection and i liked them alot so when i saw them on ebay i bought these 3 I like the tall one its a nice very slim shape i was pleasantly surprised it is was opticaly blown ( could not see that on the pics )
Beautiful. What do you mean with "optically blown"? Can you show this?
cobaltcobold hope this helps tried to use google translate
OPTICAL BLOWN glass The glass is placed in a mold with for example ribs, the "optics form", then the glass is blown in a mold or free-blown, whereby a difference in wall thickness, and thus, in the color is visible on the outside: the optical effect, even at clear glass it effect remains visible .
when you feel the large one on the outside you can feel "ribs"going down verticaly and it these "ribs"the color slighty divers its a great effect when you walk past or slightly turn it around ( when i count correctly there are 4 ribs going down from the top to the bottom I feel it makes it look slimmer its a very faint effect tried to get it on photo not yet succeeded) some of the capri serie have this (http://www.hardernet.dk/Image_DGM/Foto_GLAS/Capri-Serie-1A-Jacob_E._Bang_1961-1973.jpg you can slightly see it in this photo the large one and the one on the right have it) the other 2 i have feel complettely smooth on the outside and have no visual effect when you turn them.
In the netherlands A.Copier used this alot this is a Copier example in clear glass http://www.nationaalglasmuseum.nl/index.php?option=com_memorixbeeld&view=record&Itemid=25&id=gla:col1:dat13692&tstart=
hope this all helped
@vlkma238412. Thank you. I was never quite sure how to understand this term. Now I know better. I have an optical vase bei Eric Jachmann for WMF, inspired by Bang, I suppose, with the ribs inside. I already wanted to present it, but I am not so satisfied with my pictures. Thank you for the wonderful link to the Danish glassmuseum. All these wonderful designs by Per Lütken. It's a very useful site, exemplary, I would say.
just got 2 more .
Nice! So, there are Capri, too. Nothing written in the 'seals'?
thanks vetraio they have the JB mark in the seal
Thanks vlkma! Season's Greetings!
