Amethyst Scandinavian (?) vase

(1/3) > >>

josordoni:
I have found quite a few of my newest pieces, but some of the more basic Scandinavian type ones are reducing me to tearing my hair out...

They all look so similar,  unless they are signed I am struggling!!  This one isn't of course...

any ideas?

Chris Harrison:
How tall is it Lynne?
Is the marking on the base a fire-polished punty mark or something mechanical?

The vase looks like a stretched version of an Alsterfors pattern.

josordoni:
It's almost exactly 8 ins 200mm tall.  Base looks to be a fire polished pontil scar... very lumpy!

rim is fire polished.  Some small oval bubbles in the glass. Amethyst is true purple, not red or blue.

edited: just looked again at your vase Chris, the colour is much less blue than yours.

Pip:
Lynne - take a look at the following link

http://www.glasgaleriezindel.eu/

click on Collections then go to Finnish - there's one very similar in shape (different colour) attributed there as Riihimaki 1970's.

Max:
Hi Lynne  :)

I wonder if your vase is related to this one?  I have no idea of the designer or glassworks this one came from.  I see this type of vase on a fairly regular basis, and I kept this one because of the sticker.  The defining characteristics seem to be a light weight and curiously super-glossy glass surface.
