I found where I'd seen this listed as Muurla Lasi finally... it's on Peter Kay's site here:

That's an interesting find Anne, these have been debated for ages!  There must be a sticker on it somewhere I guess?

It might be possible that there was a marketing arrangement with Ravenhead. After all, Ravenhead was quite the thing for the mid to lower end market in the 1970s and Muurla Lasi doesn't exactly trip off the English tongue. Looking at their current prices, it's not high-end stuff and much in the Ravenhead vein

Perhaps Peter can add more as it's his bowl... I'll ask him to look into this thread and comment.

Certainly interesting to see it with a Harrods box.  Not the sort of thing I thought they would sell  

Still haven't got anywhere with the neodymium vases or that italian-style vase if anyone would like to have another look

Just found another one listed on eBay.com as Viking... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200081529619

The little gray dish is actually an ash tray and designed by Kaj Franck. They call it Häränsilmä (bullseye), which is not a name given by the designer. It´s numbered 6606 and made in Nuutajärvi Glassworks.

The Muurla thing is odd.. Some people "know" it is designed by Hardie Williamson for Ravenheas but it is also been found with a Muurla sticker and box. There really might have been some marketing arrangement between those two, Muurla and Ravenhead. Nowadays Muurla glass is mainly made in Poland by Rozalia.
