Scandinavian vases
« on: February 03, 2015, 04:35:39 PM »
Hi all. Two more to identify firmly please.

Is the 3 ball vase of RYD origin? It is 175mm tall, 85mm diameter and weighs 310g. The rim is fire polished.

The stoppered vase is 305mm high, 100mm diameter and weighs 930g. The stopper is white on the inside. I thought that this might be Holmegaard but am unsure as the base is recessed.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Still researching these!

I have figured-out that the hooped vase is Italian Empoli Cased, in the Scandinavian style.

Any thoughts on the other one with the ball stopper?

Italian as well, I believe Empoli from the 1960s/70s.
