It's very heavy and of very nice quality. Does anyone recognise this?
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris, on page 283 of the DK Collectables Price Guide 2007 there's one pictured in grey - they seem unsure and say it's 'possibly by Sklo Union or a Scandinavian factory' however, I think it bears some slight similarities to the Taalari range designed by Tamara Aladin for Riihimaki. Ever since I saw the photographed one in the DK book I've been wondering myself - hopefully Marcus might be able to shed some light on it.
Chris Harrison:
Thanks, Pip.
bothery publishers! I've only just got my hands on the 2006...
Is there a lot of duplication of the previous issue in the 2007?

Couldn't say 'cos I didn't get the 2006 version! ;D Personally, I think it's pretty good although it's probably a lot more relevant for me than the majority of the folk on this board because I also deal in retro ceramics and other collectables like plastics and textiles. For glass collectors only it may not be as useful as it is for me.
Max:
I can't see that this is Scandinavian. I think Polish perhaps, rather than Czech, could be on the right track if there's a grey version shown somewhere, I haven't seen this design before though.
Funny how I've got DK Collectibles 2003/4/5 (when I stopped buying them >:D) - between us, we have a full set. ;)
