Topic: (Themed) glass displays - show me yours, I'll show you mine... part 4

Hi Tim,
yes, it is signed with "Riihimäen Lasi Oy Nanny Still" and it's what made me learn a little about Finnish glass design:)
It was my first find (and a very lucky one) - I had no idea what it was (and I guess neither had the person selling it), saw the signature - to me it was just a lot of gibberish, having never heard of Riihimäen - but I did like the colour and the feel of it and it cost next to nothing so I took it home. Did a little bit of research, found out that it's from Finnland and put it in a nice corner.
Strangely enough I found the other two pieces of the same beautiful dark petrol colour on two other flea markets (I love strolling through flea marktes....and can't wait for them to reopen ) only a couple of weeks and kms apart. Guess that Nanny Still bottle made me more aware of the beauty of these pieces.

If I get lucky again I wouldn't mind adding a few more to the "collection" but I'm not what you could call a serious collector so I'm not spending a lot of money (yet?)
They really are beautful in their simplicity and do look amazing as a group though...

The amber one is a recent addition (as are the little candle holders) but it's not signed or engraved. The base is clear glass. It only has a label.
But it's interesting to learn that they have been given as presents, now I'd like to find one of those, too Did the company give those away?

The Finnish certainly do have some beautiful glass

The Nanny Still was a good find. Fortune favours the inquisitive.
The Finnish glass I have seen with either a top silver ring or a base silver ring have names of employees who have given long service to
a company or organisation when the leave.
This type of glass was sold in jewellers shops and I suppose they did the engraving as well.
You say the Finnish have some beautiful glass, I agree, and a lot of the classic shapes and colours were made to sell as ordinary
everyday things back then.
Happy hunting,
Tim

And they can still be used for what they were intended for. I don't get flowers very often but the one next to the Nanny Still bottle is my favourite one to use on occasion

Can you guess the theme?:

This is my display on top of the bookcase.
Just for fun does anybody care to name the manufacturers or the import company.
Good luck,
Tim

  Bottom row.:-
Isle of Wight Studio; Mdina; Stevens and Williams.

I'm too short to see the back row.

All good on the front row The three at the back left are scarce items. The pinkish trumpet vase i think you helped me I/D it .
Thanks for the input.

Vasart or perhaps Monart - the pic is a bit pixellated. The rim is wider than I would imagine for Vasart, but the colours fit.
I do know the pressed pattern is a scarce one - but I can't remember where I saw it - it was recent.  Is it Polish? another Hortensja? (I seem to default to Hortensja. )

Company? Hmmmmm. Briard? (stab in the dark)

[essi]

  Yes Sue, Monart (my only piece). Nigel Benson said it could be an early item.
The other three may have a whitefriars/scandinavian connection.

Whew re. the very pink Monart. My reputation survives a little.
Scandi. and Wfs are not my areas.
But something to do with "Not George Hardy"?
