Two Blue Jugs... Riihimaen... Zwiesel...?

(1/2) > >>

Pinkspoons:
Today's been a blue day for me... as I bought 4 blue pieces - thankfully I know what two of them are (Holmegaard) - but these two I don't know:



The jug on the left, I've no clue, but the jug on the right seems to be attributed by many internet folk as from Nanny Still's Harlekiini range. I always thought Harlekiini was stemmed? Not that I'm an expert...  :)

This fellow says otherwise, and links to others who seem to think the same... HERE

Both jugs were bought from the same person, they are very nearly the same colour, have the same quality of finish and the same bases (inverted pontil, polished), so IF one is Riihimaen, could they both be?

Della:
Nic,
Your jug on the left looks incredibly like a Zwiesel jug that I have, qua size and shape, colour etc., only without the silver bubbles.
But I could be a million miles off track :!:

Pinkspoons:
Oh, I forgot about sizes - the smaller jug is a touch below 9" and the suspect Riihimaen is just under 16" at its tallest point.  :)

Della:
Mine is 6.5" tall, but does have an inverted polished pontil. Tried to take a photo, but the light is all wrong. If no better suggestions or ideas come up, I will post a picture tomorrow.

Pinkspoons:
I had a potter around t'internet, but couldn't find any similar Zweisel. But could be worth investigating further. Will see if any other folks chip in first.

Thanks. :)
