Saara Hopea "Pantteri" vase for Nuutarjärvi, designed in 1954, height 12cm.
Found this great vase on the fleamarket here today, as it is signed not too difficult to ID :)
I hesitated shortly (as it was quite expensive for me at EUR 30,- ), but decided to purchase it -- wise decision when looking at the prices these are sold for...
I am especially pleased as I like her designs very much (I have several items by her, but this is my first piece of "art glass")
Thanks for looking!

30 Euros is an added bonus. :sun:

Thanks, John!
The seller next to the stand where I bought my vase had a nice tall footed Höglund vase in blue -- I was tempted, but at EUR 40,- it was over my limit...
Your candle stick is gorgeous, btw (never seen anything of this range here).

That is lovely! I don't know anything about scandinavian glass, but I'm sure it was a very lucky buy. Congratulations. (http://serve.mysmiley.net/happy/happy0153.gif) (http://www.mysmiley.net)

Thanks, Anik!
It sure is a lovely little vase... I am very fond of Saara Hopea's designs!
At the moment I am much more successful in the Scandi field than in the Czech -- not that I would mind, I collect both :)
What a reputable and not overly expensive Finnish glass online shop wanted (and obviously got) for one of these quite shocked me: http://www.laatutavara.com/eng/index.php?page=product&id=3610&ryhma=1&aliryhma=1 (http://www.laatutavara.com/eng/index.php?page=product&id=3610&ryhma=1&aliryhma=1)
