Topic: Help ID scandinavian????

[robertglass]

 :)Hi, again. i am repeating this post, hope this is ok.
 We purchased this 16" wide modernist bowl in an estate in canada some years ago. all the lady could tell us was that she bought it in europe, scandinavia,  perhaps denmark. has a clear pontil on base , over 2kgs,. does anybody know who it may be by? here are the pics.

I can't help with the ID on this one but just FYI: Instead of duplicating post it's preferable, after some time, to append a post to the original thread. This will 'bump' it back to the first page and let others know you are still seeking an answer.  'Bump' judiciously for obvious reasons.  Also keep in mind that quite a few people viewed your earlier post on this bowl and didn't have any insight.  Sometimes it just takes a while before someone sees it that might recognize something.

That said, I'm wondering if you or any of the other readers can tell if this piece is slumped or a different technique was used?

thanks for this. I have no idea how it was made, and i will learn soon enough how to append a post - i hope!

Cubby just means reply to your own thread

The bowl, meanwhile, is likely to be Finnish -  perhaps from Humppila.

[robertglass]

have doubts about humpilla - any other suggestions? thanks so much!! ps: we paid 200 for it at estate.

we paid 200 for it at estate.

   spending $200 on an unidentified, unsigned piece is a big gamble.

It's fairly safe to discount Danish manufacture.

ok so finnish it is... we have never seen one like it thus the splurge.
