Title: Textured Green Glass Bumpy Vase c.1960s - Riihimaki?
Post by: Mosquito on April 27, 2008, 12:53:42 PM

Wondering who made this rather nice textured glass vase. Its in a sagey green glas, cased in clear. Hexagonal in section with a textured finish and protruding bosses around the base. Approx 22 cm tall. The colour and bumpy texture put me in mind of Riihimaki but I'm not familiar with the pattern and really have no idea.

Thanks,
Steven

Thanks Andy & Sue, had a look through both sites but can't find this pattern as yet. Just have to hope Della notices this thread.

Hi,

Della was at The Art Glass Fair held at Dulwich College at the weekend and it was a pleasure to meet her and put a face to the name :)

It may explain why she has missed this one.

Cheers, Nigel

Hi all,

I would say Sea Glasbruk, Kosta, Sweden. I had a very similar piece, same protrusions, same texturing, same colour, different shape, which was labelled.

Nigel, it was wonderful to meet you too, along with all the other lovely GMB members, and you are correct as to why I missed this thread - still catching up too.
