Triple Iceberg candle holder
« on: August 01, 2011, 05:21:35 PM »
Good morning :hi:

I have this cold and frosty iceberg shaped candle holder that I assume (only) is Scandinavian.  It seems pretty new to me as it's very white.  Can anyone tell me who it's by?

Approx 11cm across at widest point and 7.5cm high.  It can be used either way up for a large candle or with three tapers.  It has a mould mark around it's middle.

Many thanks

Looks like it might be from Tapio Wirkkala´s Seita range:  :huh:

Sorry, I'd doubt it. Really, does the finish look like Seita?

The finish is great but the "icebergs" are more pronounced.
