Title: Blue lantern style vase... Still / Riihimaki ?
Post by: surfersam on May 03, 2010, 02:30:47 PM

Here is my other hunch piece of Still/riihimaki  glass but not sure.

I am sure that you great people will help with that abundant knowledge.

This is a blue encased/sommerso piece very tactile and I love holding it ( one of these days I may drop something)

Here are the vital stats.

height 8.5"
width 3.0"
weight 500 grammes

Thank you you lovely people, I would try id pieces but I would be crap!!!!!

Paul

Ps my hands are available for hand double work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not sommerso for a start. It doesn't even look cased. Is the base clear or blue? And from the ground and polished rim not Scandinavian.

Hi,

Thank you for your advice about the Sommerso.

The base is in a solid colour. I hope this helps

Paul

This is rather similar, bearing a label Made in the USSR
