FM Konstglas Ronneby whale

Readers of this website may be familiar with the intricate patterns on some of the FM Konstglas figurines we've sold.  This one is more realistic, creating an impressive weathered, barnacled look for this whale.  We haven't seen one like this before.  We're not sure when it was made but our guess is the 60s.  Later pieces were generally signed.

"FM" stands for "Fare Marcolin" - in Swedish, "made by Marcolin". The Marcolin brothers were trained in glassmaking on Murano, went to Sweden, the other leading centre of glassmaking in the middle of last century, and set up their own business. The closed it down early in the 90s.  We think their work is a bargain.  For more, (mostly sold I'm afraid), see:
