Scandi Bubble Bowl From Murano?

(1/3) > >>

horochar:
This is a  heavy, highest quality little bowl with polished base, but lacking any signature.  The Scandinavians were SO good about engraving names on these sorts of pieces (Kosta, Stromberg, Orrefors, Iittala, etc.), whereas the Italians with the exception of Venini virtually never signed with anything but paper labels.  However, I'm not aware of Murano producers using this typically Scandi bubble technique.  Could someone set me straight?
Thanks,
Charles.

Ivo:
heavy glass, air bubble, cut rim, simple shape, good quality, polished base  - I think all points at Krosno. Too simple & straight to be Italian, insufficiently designed to be Nordic.

Pat:
Well I call this simple and it has the acid etched Riihimaen mark on the bottom and is numbered.

Pinkspoons:
I second the Poland vote - these bubble-based vases have been popping up in design / interior accessory shops for a while.

My branch of TK Maxx has some not dissimilar vases.

Lustrousstone:
I third Polish, possibly designed by/for LSA International
