How can you tell if it is Viking glass?

To tell if a piece is Viking glass, first look for the maker's mark that bears the Viking name. Unfortunately, Viking usually placed this marking on foil or paper labels, many of which failed to survive on older glassware. If you're unable to locate a mark, you can look through Viking glass catalogues published on trusted online resources to see if your piece is featured in any, or you can have a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert authenticate your glassware. Shop a range of Viking glass on 1stDibs.

Is Viking Glass hand-blown?

How do I identify a Viking glass vase?

To identify a Viking glass vase, first search the piece for a maker's mark that displays the Viking name. Because the manufacturer often used foil stamps to mark its work, older pieces may be missing their identifying labels. Should you not find a mark, browse Viking glass catalogues shared on trusted online resources, looking for images that match your vase. For further help identifying unmarked glassware, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Viking glass vases.

Is Viking Glass still in business?

Sadly no, the high-end glass company closed its doors in 1998 after nearly 100 years in business.
