I have my Design Lasin book!!!!

(1/1)

Pat:
My great Xmas pressie arrived from Finland today. Wonderful book-even if I can't understand it!  Mt biggest problem is this example phrase:
14,5cm = 743 mk/125e. Edited this. Just cracked it. It's current value in marks and euros. However the values it gives are ridiculously low when compared to what some pieces fetch on ebay.

Pinkspoons:
Ah, so you're now the one to approach with our Riihimäen questions...  :wink:

Ivo:
That is because they are auction values realised in Finland where glass in in no short supply; the book starts by explaining about the value discrepancy between glass in Finland and in the rest of the world.

I suggest you go to http://www.designlasi.fi/ and print out the vocabulary and keep it in the book. It is rare to find a word or even abbreviation which is not in the vocabulary.

Pat:
Hi Nic, You can always ask, whether I can provide the answer is another thing entirely!
