Title: help identifying vase
Post by: islandoflittledetroit on October 08, 2008, 09:08:11 PM: Hi everyone
I need some help identifying this vase/bowl.
I thought it might have been Nanny Still but really I have no idea. It is quite heavy and rings like a bell and has been partially blown into a mold (bottom) as it has a ribbed appearance there, kind of like the Ultima Thule range. Anyway, any info or opinions would be great.

kind regards
scott

It reminds me of Kosta Boda's 'sunflower' votive by Goran Warff, but flatter and without the 'stem'. I'm sure someone will know.

Click the link below to see one I've sold in the past - although the shape is different you can compare other details to be certain.

I think you are right same seed like pattern, and now that the 'sunflower' inspiration has been mentioned I can see it in the design
thanks again

Scott

The pink one shown is I believe to be by Bergdala. That one has a kind of cross-hatch/grid type patterning. Very similar!!! :o
