Anyway there don't seem to be many around.

I attach a pic from the V&A display of mid century glass my sister sent me a few years back when she was in London...
(she remembered my Pantteri vase :) )

Thanks John for putting those lovely images on the forum.
The Oiva Toikka glass is just fantastic.
Of all the great Finnish designers who were around at the time i think he had the most creative mind. (feel free to object)
I have a couple of Oiva Toikka books and i think that's about as close as i am likely to be to his top end work.
My favorites are The lollipop and bamboo vases.

Very illustrious location and companions too Michael!

Don't think I have seen the lollipop design before, if I have it certainly did not register. There was a tall bamboo vase that sold at auction locally a couple of years ago, I was struck by it's size and the deeply unconventional design, Oiva Toikka is prepared to 'think outside of the box' it seems, truly original. It doubled the estimate and sold extremely well (2500 GBP plus commission).

The Lollipop Isle is in the V&A. I couldn't get it in my pocket and there were folk watching.  :'(
