Hi,

Have bumped this up as I would be interested in any info as to this vase.  Whenever we handle this type of shape it never fails to present the question "is it or isnt it?"  Have trawled all my books including Fire & Sea, plus found a past unsold item on Ebay,

There have been a few of these on the board before - the general concensus was, if I recall correctly, that they are European, probably German, possibly Friedrich.

Thanks Nik,

Whilst it is a nice little vase, I am a tad disappointed.
I just don't seem to get what I think and hope  is "Riihimaki" quite right? Practise makes perfect as they say.
