I found this vintage Quistgaard bowl at a local shop and it has a somewhat unusual mark. Not sure if I’ve seen the bowl before, or if I have seen this mark before. Let me know in the comments if I’m just crazy after seeing too many teak bowls.

The I means J in Danish. I think the I and J signify a before after date, I think the I is later, but I am not sure- I hope I am wrong.(designers initials) I have a model 830 salt/pepper combo mill with a Peugeot grinder – it looks like an upside down Martini glass.
Hi Mark, unrelated to this post but thought you might be interested in this link if you haven’t already run across. Several pdf files of old Dansk catalogs

Thanks for the responses. To be clear, though, it is this particular mark that I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen many, many Dansk marks but this one is designed a bit differently.
Picked up the same bowl recently and I, too, thought the mark was unusual. Did you ever learn anything more about it?
