Gullaskruf (Sweden) - Arthur Percy designs

Bottle vases designed in 1951 by Arthur Percy for the Swedish glasshouse Gullaskruf - in production until 1965. They came in a number of different colours and sizes - shown here together are the largest and the smallest in the range.

There are a lot of very good looking reproductions made in Poland. It is really difficult to spot the fakes once the stickers are removed.

Not in the flesh - the base and rim finishes on the originals are very different from modern repros - as are the colours.

Taken from a 1954 magazine advert:

This enormous bottle vase designed by Arthur Percy for Gullaskruf in 1952 is an amazing 40" tall. That's 1016 mm to you-all across the pond. The largest I've seen documented to date is 27". Has anyone come across one of these fabulous Swedish minimalist bottle vases as tall as this one?

Hi, you originally posted this in the marks and signatures section of the forum. We already have a Gullaskruf/Arthur Percy main thread in the manufacturers sections - I'll move this post and merge it in.
