Title: Clear textured vase
Post by: dorsetted on March 30, 2011, 06:53:32 PM

Hi
New to glass collecting so here goes..I have a small vase..no idea what it is.

It seems to look like a vase that's on ebay at the moment (IITTALA 1973 TAPIO WIRKKALA glass VASE 99p) but my vase does not have the signature at the bottom. It appears to have some embossed letters on the side..but I can't make them out.

View the vase on:

Can anyone help please? Many... many... thanks

Ted

Welcome to the board Ted.

Your vase looks like it was made by Ravenhead (which makes it English) you can see another example here on Emmi's blog towards the top: http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/

Emmi is showing off as she has a photo of the original box too. :D
