This is a vase I picked up earlier today at a local Junk/ secondhand store. I thought immediately it was Riihimaki but on consulting my Scandinavian glass reference books I am unable to find it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

I'd think Aseda, Bo Borgström.
-
Definitely Riihimaki
Robert
here is the same vase in green, with others from the range..there is no doubt it is 'right'
-
wow very convincing foto!
-
Hey, that's brilliant. This site is a WOW!! :hiclp:
Thanks Robert and you too Ivo.
Great photo. Where did that come from!!
Bryn.

Hi Bryn
I have a rather large Riihmaki collection :D
The pic is mostly of the export pieces.
Robert

What a wonderful collection! :D I LOVE green! :hiclp:
-
Large collection Robert? That's a HUGE collection. Fantastic. :hiclp:
Do you know who designed them all as well?
I have just one other from your display, the fifth from the left on the middle row, that too came from a junk shop, it was cheap but very dirty inside and I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get it clean, but it really
cleaned up well.
I have an array of soft bottle brushes and they and Fairy Power did the job.
I can imagine a lot of members using your massive collection for reference. I dare not ask if you collect other colours as well :o.
Many thanks again for your help,
Bryn

Hi Bryn
There's lots more!
I can post more pics later here.. if that's allowed, or is there somewhere to post pics of one's collections?
(I'm new here! ) :D

Hi Robert - I've long drooled over your incredibly impressive collections of Scandi glass - I've seen them on your eBay ME page or on one of your listings in the past I think :-)

You could sign up and start your own gallery in http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/index.php Robert!

I hope I did this right !

You have to make the album public, otherwise on you can see it because it requires a password
-
Done it !
Sorry a couple of the pics are poor quality, I'll redo them when I can lay hands on my tripod
-
Wow! Robert,
This post has really moved on since I last looked. Can't turn around these days.
I hope my initial post didn't create too much work for you. Well done anyway. Super collection :hiclp:
Hmm ::) you wouldn't actually know who may have designed my little red vase would you? :-[
Cheers,
Bryn

I'm pretty sure it's Tamara Aladin
I'll try and find reference for you, and I'll do some more pics of my collection too ! :D
-
Hi,
Thanks for that Robert, much obliged!

Nice to see the wee Whitefriars soda vase found a good home ;D

Pardon :huh: Lost me there I'm afraid. Perhaps you mean Robert??
-
Yes, it was for me !
I bought the smallest soda vase from palo :D
-
Ah, that's good news, I know I'm started to lose it but that really hit the accelerator. I actually sold a Whitefriars piece on Ebay on Monday so there was a little bit of "cred" in it.

Opps sorry for the confusion Bryn.

No problem. I was not aware of Whitefriars waisted soda vases until your message. Now I've got my spies out everywhere. ;D

I would be almost certain it is Tamara Aladin
But there seems to be no documentation on this one!
