lambden:
Can anyone tell me anything about this, I think it is Scandinavian, it has two signatures Kumela and Jacob I think, why would it have two signatures?

Max:
I'd like a better photo of the item really...I can't see it very well.  

I was thinking it looked quite Italian...and then it made sense to me.   The Kumela signature looks correct, comparing it against one I have here, and the signature is by Armando Jacobino, Italian master glassblower who worked for Kumela in the late 50's.

Della:
I think the signature is for Armando Jacobino (1922-1970) worked for Kumela Riihimaki from 1959-1970.  :D

Edit: sorry Max, we posted at the same time. :lol:

Max:
Just looked it up for you, and thought you might like to know that Kumela stopped trading as Kumela in the early 70's. I have a bit of a soft spot for that company as it's no longer producing glass under that name.

lambden:
Sorry to be so dumb was Kumela the glass works and where did it originate from and what do the initals before Kumela stand for, I loved this piece did I get a good buy for £30.00
Thanks
