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 ?

"Kanerva" range, designed by Björn Weckström, 1978-86.

Thanks Rocco. Its a nice looking piece. Couldnt find a thing until now.

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
