Topic: (Presumably) A Riihimäki Vase

[Pinkspoons]

Bought this one last week - and I'm assuming that it's by Tamara Aladin for Riihimäen, c.1976... or maybe part of the Stromboli range? - but it's not a label I've come across before, having only seen the Finncristall export labels. It's not to be found on the Designlasi site either.

Any help gratefully received.

Yes Nic  See this thread: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,15997.0.html

Very nice  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hurray - thanks, Della.

Just need to work out the range/designer now. 

It's probably just me, but I do actually really like this very cinammony brown.

It looks like a 1436 Stromboli vase (as you said), designed in 1962, which came in 5 different sizes, but I have only ever seen two, which were both smaller.

[Della]

sorry, Nic, I have seen 3 sizes. 

[Pinkspoons]

That was my thinking after taking a proper look at it - with my Aladin 'Export' pieces the bases aren't generally so thick and the sides flare more gently, but with this one they're subtly straight and angular.

So thanks for that.

Nic, do you still have the pics for this please as the originals seem to have vanished.

[Pinkspoons]

Yup. The originals must have been accidentally deleted during a recent server move.

I vaguely recall that the vase turned out not to be Stromboli series... but it's far too late in the evening for me to remember what it actually is.  :sleep:
