    I thought this would be easy. So many sites about Orrefors, dating it would be a piece of cake - not. So I come before you, once again, and ask for help. I resisted buying this simple but elegant crystal vase, because the resale shop had put a high price on it. On Friday they had a sale, though, and it was 50% off. I waited in line; clutched it in my hand, and forked over the cash.
    When I got home I went on the hunt for information. I measured it at 10 inches tall and it weighed in at 1lb 11.4 ounces. According to this site: http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass notes/swedish.htm the P etched on the bottom meant the artist was Sven Palmqvist - at least that was what I got out of my search. Otherwise, I could not find a citation for P 4404 - 221. I've read about Orrefors here a number of times, so I'm hoping someone can help me. It has a lovely bump on the top rim that leads me to believe it was hand made. Any comments will be gratefully appreciated.

    The other site was called Glass from Sweden.
    Have to leave for work. Maybe you could try searching those words and see if they relocated.

    The worthpoint one said "new" but if it is Sven Palmqvist, then it has to be before 1971 when he retired.

    GlassfromSweden.com is a defunct site. It gave up its domain name. The generic Glass from Sweden leads nowadays to millions of hits.

    My Orrefors book states the same....1928-71.

    It's a very complex book by Kerstin Wickman, editor.

    Thank you. That's about how much the resale shop originally asked for it.
