Italian 'Stella Polaris' decanter?
Della:
Oh no. :? I thought that it was Stella Polaris when you first posted, but I didn't want to say until I had done a little checking first, to make sure.
I am sooooo sorry :cry: Next time, I will just go with my gut instinct and speak up.
Pinkspoons:
I seem to recall the ones with impressed numbers were the Italian knock-offs. But I might be wrong.
There was a thread about them some time ago on here with a link to a site which had dozens of variations from Italy and Riihimaen - but I can't find it, so it may have been in the Cafe forum and long since vanished.
Della:
:oops: :oops: I didn't see the bit with the impressed number (in Max's post anyhow).....how dumb of me. Thanks for pointing it out to me Nic.
The ones that I have recently handled, did not have any numbers impressed or otherwise.
Now I don't feel too bad........... :roll:
Pat:
So Della, these Emma decanters are really riihimaen then? Max and I thought not when they first surfaced as they are not in designlasin. However I don't think designlasin is totally complete of everything by the designers it lists. What do you think?

Della:
Hi Pat,
I am convinced that some of them are. I have handled 'The Dice is thrown' vase this week, by E.T. Siiroinen, and a Sun bottle, by Helena Tynell, both with stoppers and both of which I already have, without stoppers, so comparing was not too difficult. They were definitely from the same manufacturer. Colour, mould line, etc., were identical.
As for the Emma vase, I have only compared two of them, both different colours and the decanter not being clear cased. I have a blue one which is due to arrive, so I will compare it to the other blue Riihimaen glass that I have when it gets here.
I have the designlasin book, unfortunately, even though there is a rough translation guide at the back, it is not understandable to me in its entirety and there are also a lot of words which cannot be found at the back of the book either.
I will continue to try and find out more information and let you know if I find out anything else.
