[QUOTE="Joe Hastings, post: 8746386, member: 79497"]Can anyone help with a date for this vase, and any other information if you have any? It's approximately 4.2" high (10.5cm) and 3.7" diameter at the top (9.5cm). The central hole is 2" (5cm) diameter. It's clear glass, very heavy, and has a pattern of flat, interlocking 'guitar' shapes around the side. As far as I can see it only has "Orrefors" and "1985" inscribed on the base. I've looked at some guides to Orrefors numbering on the internet and pattern numbers '1910/3 to 2020' are designs from 1938. To me, this looks too "modern" to be from 1938 but I'd be very pleased for someone to tell me I'm wrong! On the other hand, the amount of wear on the base suggests it's a older piece. I'd be really grateful for any information you can provide. I really love the vase and would like to know who designed it, and when. Many thanks![/QUOTE]
