--- Quote from: "Max" ---I've just noticed someone's bid up to the reserve price of £50 on that vase.  :shock:   You could be right about the Italian 'sunflask' connection Robbo, anyone feel like bidding more than £50 and having a good look?  :wink:  :P

The lip does look similar http://www.aurinkopullo.com/piraatit.htm. Maybe after I'd finished looking, I could grind off the top few inches and resell  :idea:  :roll:  :wink:

Max:
LOL!  Hey, that's an interesting site though - very interesting!   :D  :D

Er, I almost admitted this just now;  I'll do it now.  :oops:

I bought a 'sunflask' decanter about 2 years ago.  Thought it was the real thing (duh!) I think I bid £35ish on it.  It arrived and..oooh dear!  I can't remember if it had 'Made in Italy' on it, but it had a nasty plastic fitting around the stopper and I hated it!  Luckily the plastic was dead tatty, so I sent it back, saying it was damaged.  It got lost in the post...and I got a full refund from the post office.  Yippeee!   :lol:  :D

Pat:
The person on the £50 bid buys lots os Riimaen. Could be Italian BUT there was a green one on before Xmas with a hole drilled in to make a lamp. The seller of that usually is very honest and never said anything about Made In Italy.

Max:
Pat  :)

I don't take other people bidding on items as proof of identification.  Goodness knows I've been wrong enough times myself!   :wink: :D

IMHO the brown 'Emma' vase isn't by Tynell.  The green one with the hole drilled in it that you refer to could have been by Tynell.  :?:  Maybe it was altered to make it into a lampbase.  I can't find it in completed auctions.  I can only offer an opinion based on a few years experience and the Designlasin book being pretty much infallible so far. <shrugs>

The person selling the 'Emma' vase on ebay hasn't listed it as Tynell, so that's fair enough as far as I'm concerned.  I'm not calling them into disrepute in any way: caveat emptor.  :)

Pat:
Sorry I did not mean that the guy bidding was proof, just that I'm not surprised he is bidding a lot because he buys a lot of Riihimaen-or what he thinks is. The green one is in completed and is definitley the same as the one on now with the neck. Not an Emma. But I can't remember how it was listed.
