Just had a look at that soffiato style glass and I can see were you are coming from John.
When I get home tomorrow I will load that vase up under its own topic.
Thanks

Sue, do you have a photo of the glass with the dragonfly engraving?
Its very difficult to judge colour shades with photos but would be interesting to see.
Thanks

 :) I do.  ;D I even found it yesterday.  8) In a form I can post here!
I was thinking about leaving it for your new thread, but it might as well go here to keep us illustrated.
This pic gets the colour right, although it does not show the bucket itself off, too well. :-[
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

That looks a stunning vase.
I put my trumpet shaped vase in glass identification.
Your vase looks interesting enough for its own identification.
Good luck and thanks for posting the picture.

Aw shucks, thanks. We got nowhere with it when it was first posted. :)
My brother got it - he's into cut stuff.

I've added it to your thread too. The colour is very weird and unusual.  ;D

Very nice! :)
I have not seen anything like the tall vase on the right at the back, with the big "ends" I see it has a Lasi label, but while many of us see Lasi oi around, I don't think we see that design.  8)  ;D

Thanks Sue  :)

I found that one in a thrift shop in Switzerland a week or two before everything closed down due to Covid-19.
It's not signed and but for the label I wouldn't have known what it is (even though Riihimäen being one of the few companies I'm starting to know and recognize at lest a little bit......) haven't had much luck finding anything similar on the web, until last week when I found this forum and a link to Designlasi.com that identifies it as a "Rulla 1319" apparently by Tamara Aladin and probably from the 1970s.

I havent taken a "lone" picutre yet but I can give the measurements if interested:
It's approx. 240mm in hight
the base is approx. 94mm in diameter and the top 115mm
(so it's bigger than the one shown in the link but based on the google picture search it comes in 3 (?) different sizes and in clear, amber and "my" blue)
The weight is 1.084kg
I really like the rolled in top :)

I have liked every bit of glass you have posted, Ysala.  :)
I don't always know what it is, but I like it.

The rolled top piece is very interesting, thanks for adding the extra information. I'm sure others would want to know too. :)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Very nice group of glass, Ysala.
The Nanny Still bottle vase on the left hand side does it have a signature? and will you be collecting other colours in that range?.
Does the amber vase have a silver collar around the base?, if so these were given as presents and usually have some sort of personal
engraving on them.
Keep up the Finnish glass collecting.
Tim
