<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 5782, member: 111&quot;]I like the Mexican pieces too, and yours is better done than many - might mention those flat &#039;stems&#039;, as well as the petals/leaves, vary quite a bit from &#039;Blossom/Magnolie&#039;, which is a stylized Magnolia bud (&#039;Fuchsia/Klokke&#039; stylized Bellflowers, &#039;Rose/Liljekonval&#039; stylized Lilies of the Valley).&nbsp; The earlier designs by Jensen and most of his designers were in the &#039;Skonvirke&#039; style, a movement related to Arts &amp; Crafts, Jugendstil and Art Nouveau, with a definite nod to earlier traditional/historic Nordic design - elements like the voluptuous flora, bold beading, and 3-dimensional blossom finials were not uncommon on Scandinavian holloware of the mid 18th to early 19th centuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
