Riimihaen Lasi

AH GOOD, here I am pondering the difference between Sterident and Pepsident and hoping I never have to have dentures, never mind that the boys cannot wash up, for glass all over the kitchen, full of frothy stuff.

I can believe that the info may be wrong in some respects  and would be pleased to be corrected.
I think they are the right way up, the metal bits fit fine. They don't look too classy that way with those in but they seem functional.  I 'm  more used to buying British glass but got adventurous by virtue of reading people's posts here and liking yellow.

 'Riimihaki Lasi Oy' has been a torture to me for several weeks, like a song going round and round. However I don't think these are 'Oy'.

One of the labels, prior to washing, had a paw print at the top. The other was not a label, just a trace of glue.

That begs another question, when people buy glass which is filthy but has a label, what do they do to protect the label while they clean the glass???

Oh well, they could be another Chimera.

Ruth, is the "paw" from the Hame Lynx? You may like to view this "back" thread.

The photos of the museum on the link Frank gives are very good (but a disappointment to me as they don't show the Carnival - for anyone who wants to see Riihimaki Carnival in the museum you can click on my webpage and choose "Remarkable Riihimaki" from the left hand menu).

Glassyone:
Good links, my searching did not find these!
But no, it was an oblong label clear, with a paw print and underneath it had Riimihaen
LASI
Just like that, if I remember correctly.

Max:
Sounds like the right label for Riihimaen Lasi.  It's a (I think) lion's paw, and it will also have 'Made In Finland' at the base of the label.

I remember when I could pick these (and their much larger counterparts) up for about £3.  That was only about 2 years ago.  Now these 'hooped' vases (or candleholders) command a significantly greater price.  The red seems to be the most common colour and green and amber are scarcer.

Edit: There's someones personal website that shows this vase, it's been on the GMB several times.  I can't find it as my AOL has been deleted with all my favourites <sigh>  Perhaps someone can link Ruth to it?

Ruth you seem to be in some confusion

Oy just means "limited company" or similar equivalent in whatever country
Nad Lasi just means Glass
Its as simple as that.
