Lindshammar Glasswork, Sweden.
Design: Gunnar Ander.
Height: 9" (candlesticks), 6 3/4" (cocnac cup), 6" (bowl), 9 1/4" (vase).
I have found some additional glass pieces to the bowl and vase by Gunnar Ander, as I showed here (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/83168-blue-green-bowl-and-vase--scandinavian?in=user) and got so fine help to identify by astrohungaro. These new parts of the series (as for the first two I got) are in the special green-blue heliotrope color. The color is reproduced better in the first entry. They are designed and produced in the 1950s, or possibly the early 1960s. Candlesticks and bowl are in an advertisement for Lindshammar, shown in this entry by astrohungaro: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/52043-jug-gunnar-ander-lindshammar-1950s?in=collection-111
Erik Hovhammar (1922-2006) took over the lead at Lindshammars glassworks in 1949, after his father's death. He realized that the glassworks range must be renewed and therefore he hired the same year Gunnar Ander (1908-1976) as a designer and product developer. Ander then worked at Lindshammar throughout his life until 1976. He composed an entirely new range of everyday and art glass with very different shapes and looks. Gunnar Ander developed (together with a very skilled glass technicians) 56 new glass colors for Lindshammars glassworks, and after that it came to be called "the glassworks with color."
Glad I found these new glasses in the same series/color. It looks better to show a little bit more consistent things together in a group. There are more models by Ander in the same style and it would not be wrong to have a few of those too ...
I love Lindshammar and Gunnar Anders work, so far as I know it. They really belong to the innovators. The candle sticks are very nice.
Stunning!!!
Great to see you got them and I'm glad i could help you with these items :) They look amazing (but they would look great with my jug and mixer too! :) )
cant believe i missed these such a great color and really like the design of the candlesticks
