I have searched for months for this vase (and the 2nd one posted in the next post) and found nothing exactly the same however recently one has been put on a site with a possible attribution to Tamara Aladin I think?  I have never found it confirmed as TA.    It is 10" high  with the base being 3" wide and the vase is 3 3/4" at it's widest point.  It has a thick casing at the base but the the rim of the vase is only 1mm thick.  In a way it is very like the Aseda bamboo vase in terms of the casing and thickness of the glass.  It definitely isn't as weighty as the Bo Borgstrom Aseda vase I have nor the glass anywhere near as substantial or thick.  Can anyone help please?  Your ideas/thoughts/knowledge much appreciated.


Many thanks

Most definitely Riihimaen Lasi Oy, Finland....  ;D
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.

And once again many thanks Della!   :)
These were two of the first vases I bought when I started a few years ago, so I am very pleased that I chose well (although they came along with some pretty awful stuff as well of course ;D).
