I found this glass aquarium with gilded corners at an estate sale. I am wondering if anyone could help me find others like it, or tell me who made it and when. I’m also curious as to an appraisal.
This exquisite collector's plate is a prestigious piece from the 1972 Munich Olympics, meticulously crafted by the renowned Danish porcelain manufacturer B&G Copenhagen (Bing & Grøndahl). This plate is distinguished as a first issue, featuring the unique number 8000/9472, making it a rare and valuable item for collectors.
The design captures the spirit and elegance of the Munich Games, with intricate details and high-quality craftsmanship that B&G Copenhagen is known for. The plate is approximately 7 1/8 inches in diameter, making it a perfect display piece that highlights the rich history and significance of the 1972 Olympics.
Owning this plate is not just about possessing a beautiful piece of art, but also about holding a piece of Olympic history. It's a testament to the skill and artistry of B&G Copenhagen and a cherished item for any serious collector of Olympic memorabilia.
I came across this glassware set in an auction lot and struggled to find information on them. They were simply stored in a box labeled “Swedish glass” and all wrapped in newspaper from the 80s. I finally landed on Avon Kosta-Boda glassware but there are no noticeable markings anywhere on my glasses. They have no “seam” lines (making me think they were hand blown) and there are a few imperfections among the set of 44. I’m struggling to find any information on how to confirm these as Avon Kosta Boda glasses and also figuring out a price point for resale.
