Could anyone please confirm that this 7 inch olive green vase is a Riihimaki design, or suggest another maker if not, thanks John

Is that your photograph and display?
It looks very similar to one Robert posted previously here

It is my picture.
Also, for clarity, I never claimed it was the full range of export vases, and it includes vases from other ranges too ;)

And in answer to the original question, yes, it's a Riihimaen design.

I never claimed it was mine and, yes, I yanked it from the message board awhile ago for reference.  Is that not allowed?

I believe it is not allowed as it infringes copyright.  It is ok however, to link to the thread where the picture is of course.

I don't personally mind, but it didn't answer the question and potentially 'muddied the waters' as not all the vases in my pic are from the export range, nor is all the export range pictured.
(including the vase in question)

Okay. I apologize for that.  But, I'm sure I'm not the first to copy pics from the board.  I'll be sure not to repost them again.  ::)
