Rorstrand Gunnar Nylund Vase

No pots here in the Porcelain yet so here's a Gunnar Nylund vase (sorry for the poor image) made by Rorstrand, Sweden circa 1950....

Hi Pip,

 I dont have a problem with that, the high fired glazes on these will often leave a paler rim where the glaze has run away from (thined) on the fine rims reveaving the white porcelain boby colour, it's an intentional detail, but it still has a high glaze over the rim, unless the piece has been resprayed with a varnish it looks OK to me, and a very beautiful example as well.

Please put a pic of yours up too when you've time, you know what it's like at a fair we only took a few seconds coming to a decision so it would be good to have another look.

I have a Rorstrand Bertil Lundgren and a plate (photo) that I really have no clue about ...and havent been able to find anything similar - mind you Rorstand isnt so easy to come by in New Zealand ...

The bird plate looks like an early 50s Marianne Westman design, but I cant remember seeing it before...I'll have a look though some reference.
