Bought this one last week - and I'm assuming that it's by Tamara Aladin for Riihimäen, c.1976... or maybe part of the Stromboli range? - but it's not a label I've come across before, having only seen the Finncristall export labels. It's not to be found on the Designlasi site either.

Any help gratefully received. ;D

Yes Nic ;D See this thread: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,15997.0.html
Very nice :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
-
Hurray - thanks, Della.
Just need to work out the range/designer now. ;D
It's probably just me, but I do actually really like this very cinammony brown.
-
It looks like a 1436 Stromboli vase (as you said), designed in 1962, which came in 5 different sizes, but I have only ever seen two, which were both smaller.
-
sorry, Nic, I have seen 3 sizes. :-[
-
That was my thinking after taking a proper look at it - with my Aladin 'Export' pieces the bases aren't generally so thick and the sides flare more gently, but with this one they're subtly straight and angular.
So thanks for that. :)
-
Nic, do you still have the pics for this please as the originals seem to have vanished.
-
Yup. The originals must have been accidentally deleted during a recent server move.
I vaguely recall that the vase turned out not to be Stromboli series... but it's far too late in the evening for me to remember what it actually is. :sleep:
