Topic: Pigs, pigs, pigs ID=Cascade, Hazel Atlas, Holmegaard and Riihimäen Lasi Oy

[Ivo]

First ones are easy: Cascade (both have a label)
Second ones Hazel Atlas (confirmation?)
Third ones Holmegaard.

But the utterly stylised fourth?  Is anyone in the know?

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought Ivo was swearing!  :24: :24: :24:

Nice pigs!    Sorry I can't help with no. 4 - although he has a decidedly Scandi look about him to my ignorant eye :vkg:

Just Googled evey permutation of Pig, Piggy, Glass, Bank, Bottle and others but nothing like yours Ivo.....but I will keep looking. 
Was the pun 'sty'lised intentional Ivo?  If not, then it is even more amusing! :rah:

[Ivo]

Thanks Leni, Thanks Rosie. The stylised was not thought out...

[rosieposie]

In that case Ivo, I send you a  :kissy: cos it was even funnier than the Café jokes!!

I'll keep searching.......for pigs out of their styes.

While on the subject - here is another pig in yellowish crystal which so far has eluded all attempts at identification. I know of a collector who has its twin in red. I also have an elephant from the same production - but let's stick to the pig for now. If you meet another denizen of the sty - squeal, will ya?

In the November issue of Homes and Antiques (in the shops now), there's a picture of the piggies no.3 claiming they are Riihimaki 1965-70??

Nah, they're definitely Holmegaard - they pop up with factory labels fairly frequently.

No 4 is Riihimäen Lasi Oy Finland before 1976. Production No 1997
