The blue vase is not from Riihimaki, that appears to be one of many internet enabled myths, maker unknown at the moment. Nice quality though and they tend to sell well on ebay.

No idea what these pics look like as I'm in the middle of no where, here are a couple more showing one of the best cut glass items I have ever seen (thats not been behind museum glass) and I think dating to the 1840's.

Nice haul! I think the red jug/vase with the clear handle is Riihiimaki, isn't it? And I spy a nice wee bit of Davidson cloud glass as well. The pearly blue posy bowl with your cut glass piece is gorgeous!

Very lucky this weekend to find these three for next to nothing, a piece of American  brilliant cut glass around 1900 in date which is stunning the best piece of cut glass i have found so far, a georgian ale im guessing around 1760-1800 and a piece of isle of wight gemstone 1990's .

Another pair of i'm guessing early 19th century cut glass items from todays car boot, loose in a big box with a load of other pots and cups, a large oval dish and what i think is a perfume or maybe holy water? bottle.

The dish measures 12 inches in length and the bottle 5 inches in height, the stopper is a nice tight fit so i'm sure original.

Regards Chris.
