Bowl by Iittala, Finland?

Hi Anne,

The measurements are way off :cry:  sorry. That doesn't mean it isn't Iittala, just probably not Tapio Wirkkala.

The dish in the link Frank gave is in the book.
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.

OK just to sling another idea into the mix - Anne I've seen in a book (can't find it now though unfortunately) a beautiful bowl - very similar but not exactly the same as yours - which was designed by Tauno Wirkkala - the brother of Tapio - for Humppila (Finland).  Pip.

You can chuck as many ideas in as you wish Pip, I'm very grateful :lol:

I've never heard of Tauno Wirkkala - and I hadn't thought about Humppila as a possibility - so thanks for that.  

Cripes - the plot thickens :lol: These Scandinavians :roll:   I'll do a search on Tauno W. and Humppila and see what comes up.

Just this sec. spotted it, and another Humppila bowl which bears some similarities....

 :lol:  Beaten to it by Frank  :P

This one looks more like mine.

Both are far more exciting than my restrained version.  Mine doesn't have the same flamboyant uneven edge.
