Nuutajarvi, Hopea vase and Toikka candlestick for show

For Tim, as noted, this part of the board is sometimes not as busy as other sections.

Two fabulous designs, from my perspective anyway. The Pantteri vase designed by Saara Hopea in 1953 is a taller variation, really thick walled and heavy, very tactile. I particularly like the more abstract Oiva Toikka designs and this candlestick from 1968 fits the bill perfectly, the glass that appears black is a very dark almost olive green.

Love the Pantteri vase! Do you remember mine? :)

The Toikka candlestick is a piece I have never seen before, very nice. Seems that his art glass is not easily found (unlike his glass tableware). I have one of his cubes somewhere in my storage, if only I knew where exactly...

Not until I read your message then I remembered your purple spots!

Another fabby from Toikka: https://www.designlasi.com/en/content/pampulavaasi-pompom-vase-toikka-oiva-en

That Toikka piece is fabulous indeed. Great fun. :)

The Pantteri vases are really scarce it seems -- I have never seen another one since I found mine...

I was under the impression they were only made for one year, which would help account for scarcity but that is not the case according to:

No idea where I got that idea from now.
