Post by: Ohio on August 11, 2009, 04:52:43 PM: Any of these similar vases being IDed as Gunderson era Pairpoint (and there was one posted the other day) is incorrect. Gunderson did not do anything remotely close to these. Often both Erickson or Sweden & Erickson USA (not related) plus, as IVO stated, others from Japan are often misided as Pairpoint....evidently there is a group (mostly US) that believes if it has bubbles it must be Pairpoint.
