Title: I Had To Buy This, but don't have a clue.ID = Oberglas, Austria
Post by: Pat on December 31, 2005, 01:25:51 PM: Hello everyone. I'm back after Christmas. I hope you all had a good one and I wish you all a Happy and Glasserous New Year.

So I just had to have this vase and it sits well with my Finnish glass but don't have a clue about it. It is 8.75" tall. Can anyone help? Thanks, Pat.

Post by: Pat on December 31, 2005, 02:08:19 PM: Well yes I know 'cos I bought it off ebay knowing it was not Whitefriars but it cried out to me. It makes me so mad when people just list things as Whitefriars all the time. If you don't know what it is either research it or say you don't know.

This vase was covered extensively in the following link

I still have the two vases in question and have continued to see them described as Riihimaki.
