Scandinavian looking modernist decanter
« on: June 26, 2010, 07:59:41 PM »
This was sold to me a being "Swedish" c.60's.  Not too sure about it being Swedish, but my guess - definately Scandinavian IMHO.  Its a nice piece, and so easy to hold and pour from. 
What does anyone think please?
TIA ;D

Quoted from above Link:
"Lot #: 289 - Riihimaki ? Lot of 3 Mold Blown green Glass Vases. Finland? Unmarked. 2 measure 11" tall. Shorter vase is 8" tall. Slight surface wear.
Estimate: 150.00-300.00"


Just a Guess......never take my word   :24: LOL............Still a newbie  ;D

This is just a guess but when I saw it i thought Iittalia for some reason. I don't know why and my guess is most likely wrong. Gorgeous colour.

I think there is a high probability of it being German...

Thanks folks :kissy:

It does look rather like the Riihimaki vases in shape, but unlike my Riihimaki angular vase, it is very lightweight and thin walled.  Its very similar to Iittala ones too, but I couldn't find an exact match.
I hadn't considered German, but will do a search to see what comes up.
