<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Christine Steingass, post: 13100380, member: 114460&quot;]I got curious about this one and did some digging.</p><p><br /></p><p>The inscription on the base appears consistent with Lindshammar, Sweden, and possibly Gunnar Ander. Lindshammar was founded in Sweden in 1905, and Gunnar Ander became the glassworks&#039; first designer around 1949 and continued designing for Lindshammar until 1976.</p><p><br /></p><p>A useful reference for Lindshammar history, labels and examples is the 20th Century Glass identification guide:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/scandinavian_glass/lindshammar_glass/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/scandinavian_glass/lindshammar_glass/" rel="nofollow">https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/scandinavian_glass/lindshammar_glass/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also checked actual auction results rather than relying only on asking prices. Auctionet has documented signed Gunnar Ander/Lindshammar glass, including this signed example that sold for $27:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://auctionet.com/en/1233364-gunnar-ander-vase-glass-lindshammar-signed" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctionet.com/en/1233364-gunnar-ander-vase-glass-lindshammar-signed" rel="nofollow">https://auctionet.com/en/1233364-gunnar-ander-vase-glass-lindshammar-signed</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And another signed Lindshammar/Gunnar Ander vase sold for $63 in March 2025:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://auctionet.com/4133197-gunnar-ander-vas-glas-lindshammar-signerad" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctionet.com/4133197-gunnar-ander-vas-glas-lindshammar-signerad" rel="nofollow">https://auctionet.com/4133197-gunnar-ander-vas-glas-lindshammar-signerad</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Those aren&#039;t identical to this etched-bird vase, so I wouldn&#039;t treat either result as a direct valuation. They are useful for seeing the general auction market for signed Lindshammar/Gunnar Ander pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since we&#039;re not supposed to give valuations here, I&#039;ll phrase my thought this way: based on the comparable market evidence I found, I personally would not let it go for yard-sale money. At the same time, I wouldn&#039;t use the very high asking prices attached to some of Ander&#039;s more desirable sculptural designs as direct comparisons for this piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also want someone more familiar with Lindshammar signatures to confirm the entire inscription/model number on the base before representing it definitively as a Gunnar Ander design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very cool little piece. The etched birds are what sent me down the rabbit hole in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
