Finnish or Swedish?
« on: May 04, 2015, 08:50:26 PM »
Hello!
I just bought these two at a flea market. I have a suspicion they're cheap copies or inspired by Finnish glass. But I haven't been able to find some that are exactly the same.

The large one with room for four lights is really quite heavy. I thought it reminded me of the Iittala Nappi, although I know it isn't one of his.

The smaller one perhaps remind me of some Swedish candle holders.

What do you think?

Measurements of the large one: width 18cm, height 4,5 cm.
And the small one: width 8cm , height 6 cm.

Welcome  ;)
Goran Warff's polar hurricane candleholder for Kosta Boda might be a possibility.
