Engstrøm Kunsthåndverk (Anne Grete Engstrøm)

Engstrøm Kunsthåndverk is associated with Anne Grete Engstrøm and the shop Huset med det rare i in Kristiansund, Norway. The 4UBYME website presents a shop and workshop at the same address. Norway's official business register connects the website with the sole proprietorship bearing Anne Grete Engstrøm's name and records Glass Engstrøm Kunsthådverk as a subunit of that business.

Distinguishing the maker from the retailer

In her own presentation, Engstrøm describes working with glass fusing and training in several glass techniques. The website includes platters, glass pictures, jewellery and sculptures. Its retail range also contains other products and goods on consignment. Purchase from the shop therefore does not establish who made an object.

For identification, compare the object with a documented model, receipt or information from the artist. Photograph any signature or label exactly as it appears. Handwritten markings and similar colours are clues to investigate, not conclusive attribution.

Condition and next steps

Record the dimensions, edges, surface, cracks and repairs in a condition report. Explore other available objects in glass and crystal. To offer a piece for sale, send photographs and documentation using the guidance on buying and selling through OBA.
