4kg Ice bucket & six glasses, heavily textured. Iittala?
« on: March 03, 2007, 04:16:43 PM »

Hi all,

Could anyone enlighten me as to who designed/made this set? The ice bucket/punch bucket? weighs over 4kg! All are very heavily textured.
I thought maybe Iittala, but I cannot find anything to confirm/denounce my thoughts anywhere.
Ice bucket is 10 3/4" in height and the glasses 4"
All help and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

Hi Della,
Elimination process here, but it is not "Boutique" by Panek, for SU.
I think you are looking at the right area, Scandinavia.
Regards,
Marcus

Stems are definitely not Ultima Thule. http://www.finnishgifts.com/iittala-ultima-thule.html
(Mum has collected Iittala for years.)

Thanks for the input  :D I have looked very closely at the glasses. Almos impossible to see any markings because of the density of the pattern, but I have found that each of the glasses has a different, single  number impressed on the inside of the foot.

My question now is: Are the French the only ones to practise the impressing of numbers, or did other countries do this also?

Sorry if this seems a dumb question, but if you don't know the answer to something, trying to find out an answer seems the most sensible thing to do.  :-X

I think the set could be Oberglas, Austria. Impressed mould numbers point at an automated manufacturing process, so you're not looking for a small outfit.

Aha, that is where I recognise the pattern from {{{{lightbulb}}}} I once had a bottle, which you kindly identified for me as being Oberglas or Italian, Ivo. It had the same 'flame' kind of pattern on it.
Thank you, again, Ivo  ;D
