Title: Pair handmade Olive green glasses 10" high
Post by: chriscooper on November 29, 2010, 12:41:45 PM: Another charity shop buy, colour and style look Scandinavian? (probably wishful thinking) a little like Holmegaard Canada or Princess in style? just probably modern but they do have some wear to the base :-[

But that is almost impossible to prove, as neither firm kept records - they claim. Alternatives are one of the many Swedish firms, or even a Belgian or Czech one...
