Title: nuutajarvi Vase
Post by: petet63 on January 10, 2013, 02:01:47 PM

Hi, this piece has the label for the period 1977 - 1993. It is 17.5cm high. No sig that I can find. Is it part of  the 'Volcano' range as it is the only thing with this style of bubble pattern. Does anyone know the designer and approximate age ?

Just adding: the Kanerva -range consists of  6 different objects.

The technique includes the use of some typographic powder that makes the copper shaded bubbles.

He used the same technique in some opaline items too.

Thanks for that. I have had a look and seen a few pieces. I like them but as usual I have to move it on straight away. I get to enjoy it for a week or two. I have listed it...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261153588249?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Much appreciated rocco & px
