Paul Kedelv worked for Flygsfors in Sweden from 1949 to 1956.
This plate was made during this period and has a date for 1954.
It is signed Kedelv on one side of the ground pontil and on the other is Flygsfors 54. It's a double sommerso with yellow and green all cased in clear.
Many thanks czechman!
Many thanks to both inky and Sean!
Just rminded me that there is a connection of Flyfsfors with OZ -- Paul Hayworth was sent there to learn the craft and bring it back to teach the workers at the Leonora glass works (I have been told he did not do this on his return )
some interesting pix

I bought a Santos vase a couple of weeks ago that is not bad. My mate Alex, the Tall Dutch guy has been collecting the Leonora pressed pieces for years now. Very Kosta Boda with Oz motifs. ?Hayworth cetrainly used the Flygfors experience when working with Paul Flett in the Hunter valley vineyards at Pokolbin in the early 80's. the polar bear looks like Marcolin and the black vase in the bottom photo here has that Kedelv look:?http://blog.peterlupinski.com/archives/tag/paul-flett
Many thanks Justanovice!
