SIGNATUR EKSEMPLER

Gravering af signatur på glas emner ses fra ca. 1940 og frem til slutning af 1980'erne start af 1990'erne, hvorefter signering via laser teknik begynder at blive udbredt.

Det er mit indtryk at gravering af signatur på produktions emner har været tilfældigt i forhold til hvor meget der blev graveret af den samlede produktion og ret afgørende hvor meget tid personale havde i overskud til at udføre den ret tidskrævende proces.

I slutningen af 1980'erne synes signerede eksemplarer at være i noget mindre antal end det man kan se i 1960'erne og 1970'erne, kan skyldes at man stadig i denne periode stadig havde en del slibere og gravører beskæftiget.

Unika og prøveemner til forskel blev alle påført en signering enten af den pågældende glaspuster, ansat der var dygtig til gravering eller også designeren selv.
 

SIGNATURE EXAMPLES

Engraving of signature on glass is to be seen approx. 1940 and proceeds to the end of 1980s and start of the 1990s, after that signature is beginning to be done by laser technique.

It is my impression that engravings of signature on production subjects has been random done as to how many items of the production that did receive a signature, did depend very much on how much spare time employees to do this quit time consuming process.

In the end of the 1980s it seems that signature to items is quit less in numbers than you will find in the 1960s and the 1970s, perhaps that is due to that there still was quit a few cutters and engravers employed yet.

Unique (one of a kind) items, test items (mostly 2-9 items) was all engraved with signature often done bye the glassblower, an employee a skilled engraver or even the designer self.
