Holmegaard - Per Lutken designs

Hi there, Bought this at auction with some other Holmie stuff and thought, right, Per Lutken May green folded bowl, end of story. But when I turned it over the usual PL thingy and Holmeguaard name weren't there. Just #5 or #S. What the?! Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks!
Cheers,
Mr. Roboto

Yup - it's Per Lütken for Holmegaard.

The bowl in this colourway is from the 1963 Majgrøn / May Green series, although the bowl itself was designed in 1958.

The signature, which is actually 'II S', denotes that it was a production second not good enough to retail - so it was probably sold on the cheap through the factory shop. Other known signatures for second production items are just 'II' on its own, or '2'.

I love these bowls - I've got a slightly chipped one that I use to keep my loose change in!

Thanks Nic,
My money was on a second as well. Tough to see why though. They must have secret x-ray vision!

Cylindrical vase designed by Per Lutken in 1958. Signed.

'Menuet' vase in production from 1955 to 1976 - this one dates to 1962. Signed.

The first vase is from the 'Labrador' series.

One of Paul's recent purchases ... Nic, could you please tell me which series it's from - is it 'Greenland'?

Yup. Grønland/Greenland - the smaller of two sizes (the next size up is VAST).

Thank you Nic :-) Paul said he found it lurking at the back of a shelf in a charity shop - it was priced cheaper than a hideous dog figurine that was stood in front of it!
