Correct. Here is a compilation of the various staved teak marks (from earliest to latest) that I put together a couple of years ago. I don't have the date changes between logos, and the SE Asian ones may be backwards.
jesgord did post a mark earlier in this thread which may be even earlier than the football shaped one.
cd, thanks for that! I was researching, trying to sort out the evolution of the marks, and having some difficulty putting the timeline together. You resolved all those questions in one shot, so I am grateful.
All of the remaining pieces are the logo in "b", except for the 2 three section serving dishes, and the cheese board, which are Malaysia and Denmark/Japan respectively.
Thanks again, for the info!
Has anyone seen a vintage Kobenstyle 2 qt. casserole that was made in Sweden? Just came across one that had the second iteration of the four ducks, but had "SWEDEN" in the location where Denmark usually is. Does anyone know the years of production in Sweden, or any of the other details associate with Swedish production?
I had known for a while that my friend had a good Dansk collection, especially pepper mills, but the whole house exceeded my expectations. Besides Dansk, there are also plenty of other Quistgaard designs, Anri Form, Digsmed, Scan Form, etc pieces. And the Danish Modern collection is only one of many different collections in the house, some of which can be seen in the background of the previous photos.
In addition to maybe having the most extensive private Dansk collection in the world quantity wise, it is just as impressive quality wise. I think he has over half of the entire Rare Woods collection, including multiple copies of some of the hardest-to-find pieces (1604 - wenge salad bowl with clamshell spoons). Ironically, many of the best Rare Woods pieces were hidden under stacks of more generic teak bowl and trays: 1601 - rectangular wenge tray, 1633 - mutenye square X tray, and one of the most elusive 1651 - pao rosa long reversible tray. I made him promise to relocate all the Rare Woods pieces so they can be seen and appreciated.
And here are two pieces that I never knew existed:
1. I'm not even sure what to call this one. It appears to be a double salad bowl design, where the two pieces can be inverted stacked to create an egg-shaped sculpture when not in use. The rim patterns are different to interlock with a nice thin seam. Subsequently, I've seen a couple of single bowl examples online, but never a full double bowl set. The Dansk mark underneath is also one that I've never seen: small rounded imprint similar to the bottom of a pepper mills, without any heat branding.
2. An unmarked laminated rosewood tray, which was apparently a design prototype that was too expensive to put into production. If you look at the handle close-up, you can see just how thin each laminate strip is.
The newest item in the Quistgaard Collection just arrived yesterday: another cast iron Anker casserole with teak/iron stand.
I had always assumed there was just one stand design, with a shallow and deep square casserole option (I previously had the shallow version). However, this new black enamel acquisition is larger than the other one, with a deep round casserole in a round stand.
Perfect timing as well, as I'm hosting a dinner in a week and was planning on gumbo. The big dish can now hold the soup, with the rice in the shallow one.
