BEKA Ceramik
« on: March 26, 2008, 01:42:45 PM »
I've just bought this little retro looking dish with its label still on.  BEKA KERAMIK BIRGER ALSTROM.  The accents over the letter A makes me think it might be Swedish???   It has BEKA inscribed on the base.

Its a nice little piece with a mottled bronze underglaze and inscribed abstract pattern.

Does anyone know anything about it please?

TIA ;D

I found some more with the BEK? label on Tradera
and some more rummaging around found some refs on a Swedish  message board http://www.precisensan.com/antikforum/archive/index.php?t-2701.html where someone asks about BEK? and the replies include these links: http://allehanda.se/arkiv/artikel.php?page=lokalt&id=1509 and http://allehanda.se/arkiv/artikel.php?page=kultur&id=143 both pages in Swedish so perhaps Aine can help figure it out for us?  The online translators scrunch it up so much as to be unreadable.  :boohoo:
Cheers!
