From a Newbie.Could anyone tell me who made this vase please?
« on: August 28, 2010, 02:31:54 PM »
There are a few of these on Ebay at the moment £8.00 to £30+ but I cannot identify it anywhere.
8 inches high and 5 inches diameter at the widest point.

I'd be very grateful for your help.
Sue

Hi Sue :)
They're normally listed as Riihimaki, but I don't think they are- they're not cased for one thing...

I suspect Swedish.. or possibly Italian ??

What a fast reply - thanks very much. From my (very) limited knowledge I thought maybe Riihimaki too, anyway I really like it so I don't suppose it matters! It's just nice to know when I'm impressing my friends with my growing collection and  expertise!
