[smokerstill]

Does anyone have any info on Laissiepat, or any links or a pic of any?

Does anyone have any info on Laissiepat, or any links or a pic of any?

What is the correct spelling? Could it be Lasixxxx or Lasi xxxx? Lasi being Finnish for glass?

Ivo? Marinka?

I wasn't going to get embroiled in this topic again as I felt I had said all I had to say, but just to complete the picture for smokerstill and aa, the spelling is Lasisepat (with 2 dots over the a), and they are made in Mantsala in Norway.  Thanks to Robbo for this info in a previous link:

After all this, someone'll probably come along and say these are Scandinavian!  :lol:

Well - Nordic anyway!

I bought two similar dishes today, one with label.

Whole Thing
Label

Pip - these look flatter than yours, but the points look exactly the same. Looking at the auction for the taller one described as dartington, the points on that one look slightly different?

Having googled, I haven't found anything about the company.
 
 

The url for the pics is http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3335

This displays the bowl and label very well. 
I have also seen photos confirming these facts in a modern glassware gallery on Google, but no longer have the link to that.
I have got 5 small bowls now, and still want another one of the small ones, and am looking for one of the large ones at a reasonable price......anyone out there got one to sell??
I think they are candle holders, not dishes or vases as they dont contain enough water.....just my summise though. The Scandinavians are VERY into candles.

Thanks for that  :clap:  I have two of these gorgeous 'vases' which I use as candleholders.  Very pretty and stylish pieces.

I think I should have put my message here, so here I go again.....forgive the duplicate!! (age?!)

I know this has been an old posting and we have all had a say in these 'candle holders', but here is a possible spanner in the works for us all to ponder on!!!!!

Perhaps they are Ravenhead after all??
Anybody like to comment?

the new 20th century British Glass by Charles Hajdamach book has them listed as Ravenhead and states they were introduced at the Birmingham Spring Fair in February 1980.
page 222 plate 463.

The thick plottens methinks!!
