[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 6732, member: 181"]You are most welcome, glad I was able to help. I got a little time today and was able to dig a bit further on your item, especially in the fine decoration. This is what I found first: Your item appears to be marked with an "E(?)" just below at right as indicated in red below. This "E(?)" could stand for designer: "JE [U]Ericsson[/U]", but I'm not sure. [ATTACH=full]1418[/ATTACH] Digging a little further I found this: [I]"After the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, the painter [B]Johan August Malmstrom[/B] designed a form of decoration for Gustavsberg that included a stylized band derived from rune stones".[/I] [B]Johan August Malmstrom[/B]: [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Malmstr%C3%B6m']http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Malmström[/URL] If I'm not mistaken, your piece is designed in a Norse-[I]style[/I] correct? If yes, have a look at this: [url]http://www.designarkiv.se/ur-designarkiv/bildexempel/exempel-02/[/url] Doesn't that design and those [U]roundels[/U] look familiar? Somewhat similar to the design and roundels found on your piece correct? Now look at the production year that linked piece was produced. Now take a look at this: [url]http://www.digitaltmuseum.se/things/ssskl/S-NM/NM.0269041A-B?place=Gustavsberg&search_context=1&count=221&pos=19[/url] This too was designed by Malmstrom. Do you also see how that linked piece above is marked ("G IRONSTONE 77"). VERY similar to your piece........no? I've done all I can do, the rest is up to you to put the pieces of this puzzle together. I hope the above info helps?[/QUOTE]
