Title: Textured Vase In Flint/Clear?
Post by: dorian_graye on June 20, 2010, 04:06:35 PM

Hello all.  I just found this vase today.  It measures 7.5" inches tall and 2.25" inches square.  Is it Whitefriars?

I don't think it is, the Whitefriars version has two clear sides and two textured: http://whitefriars.com/catalogues/contents.php?id=304

It's not Dartington either, the texture is not fine enough. Davidson is one possibility....

LOL!  Oh wow.  When I did a Google search for the nailhead vases, I didn't even notice that two sides were smooth.  I guess I just saw the pattern reflecting from the textures side.  Oh well.  It was only $.50 cents.  I have yet to come across any Whitefriars glass here in the States.  And the search continues....  :thup:

A 'close up' photo of the texture might be useful.

Did you enlarge the photos?  I'm not really sure how much more of a close up I can get without it looking flattened and obscure.

I believe this is an Iittala Linearia vase #2783 designed by Timo Sarpaneva.  Thank you to all who replied.  :hi:

Can this be moved to the Scandinavian section?

Here's a Bloomingdales ad in New York Magazine from 1977, with pictures of Linearia, Stellaria and Riite.

Thanks PX for the added documentation.  I will assume that this thread will be moved eventually.  The mods pay attention, but are very slow.  Well, slow when it comes to moving threads, but no so slow when someone's photos are being "pilfered" without permission  :thup:

Probably not the best way to attract a mod's attention.   ::)

Dorian, the mods are voluntary...and as far as I can see spend an inordinate amount of time dedicated to doing a fantastic and very busy job on this site.  Without them the site would not exist because it would crash I am sure, under the weight of spam stuff that would get loaded if they didn't moderate it out as soon as it happens....as well as trying to moderate and move threads where applicable....as well as trying to moderate generally what is posted on here to ensure it adheres to the guidelines of the site requirements. Whilst I can't speak for them, I used to moderate and be a trustee of a completely different kind of site (a charity) and like us on there, I'm pretty sure they have 'other lives' as well....i.e. families and work etc outside of the site.  Kind words go a very long way  :)

No argument there.   :hiclp:

Though, it appears quite a different story from where I sit.  But, thanks for your two cents.  I'm sure the mods will appreciate it.
