Engravers at Orrefors

The below list in alfabetical order tries to give an overview of the engravers that were active at Orrefors. If known, the initials that they used for signing their work are mentioned. Nils Landberg and Sven Palmqvist also feature in the list of engravers. Since both started their career as engravers at Orrefors, the period mentioned after their names covers only the period they worked as engravers, and does not represent their whole tenure at Orrefors. When you have and engraved glass piece that is signed by either Landberg or Palmqvist, then this means that they actually did the engraving themselves.
