Dartington Glass or not?
« on: March 03, 2009, 04:27:34 PM »
Hi All, does anyone recognise this as being Dartington glass. It measures 15 inches wide. Thanks, Sue

It's not one of the Palm range designed by Anita Harris and the colour is quite greenish, so I would say No, not Dartington. Perhaps one of the mainland European factories that uses recycled glass

Similar to the pieces by Tauno Wirkkala for Humppila shown here: http://www.laatutavara.com/images/3426m.jpg

Christine, You're right,  it is greenish in colour, I didn't notice that before, when I give it a ping with my fingernail it is more of a deepish "dong" rather than ping. Sue.

Anne, I thought it might be Humppila as I have another definite Tauno Wirkkala bowl, which I posted a topic on. But the base is different so not sure, that is why I thought it might possibly Dartington, but going by what Christine says I am not so sure now. Sue.

I've been thinking , haven't we had this before in blue or amber. I haven't looked, just a vague bell
