Title: Riihimaen Lasi Oy vase but which designer please?
Post by: Tinker-Taylor on January 23, 2010, 03:11:16 PM

Hello

My question is all in the title really.  Just bought this item from my local charity shop, but don't know the designer.  It has the remnants of a sticker on the base and an etched number "1346" or posssibly "1366".

Thanks in advance,
Stu.

Some vague bells are ringing somewhere that this is an Aimo Okkolin design but I'd need to double check a few sources first.  If anyone else knows otherwise take their word over mine - my memory isn't what it was :-\

Fantastic - thanks everyone!   :thup:

I had a feeling it was Tamara, as the base is so very similar to a definite TA in my collection.

I will be placing this and others on Marketplace within the following week, so please keep a look out if interested.

Thanks again,
Stu.

Please don't plug forthcoming sales anywhere but MP Stu or you'll likely find your whole topic gets moved there without notice.

Ok, sorry.  Didn't know I was committing a rule break.  In what way is it a bad thing exactly?  (I'm not being facetious here - I just like to know why I am being reprimanded.)

Stu, see the description for the Market Place forum. The board rules we work to allow sales and sales plugs in MP only, otherwise we'd have them all over the board and we'd be swamped. By keeping them in one forum (a) folks know where to find them and (b) it makes dealing with IDs and other discussions easier in that they don't get swamped by sales plugs. Hope that helps. :)

Brill - thanks.  Sorry - I should have had a squint at the rules.   :-[
