Title: 4 'Riihimaki' Vases...2 x Amber, 1 x Purple, 1 x Blue...
Post by: kane_u_pain on November 12, 2011, 05:59:04 AM

Thought I would throw these up in the one post. 4 Vases...

Light Amber One
409 grams, height 22.5cm and dia 6.5cm

Pale Blue One
363 grams, height 22.7cm and dia 6.5cm

Purple One
373 grams, height 22.7cm and dia 6.5cm

Dark Amber One
371 grams, height 23cm and dia 6.3cm

I know these have been discussed before in another thread, but has anyone made and head way in identifying these yet? I still haven't seen one with a label... :spls: I am quite partial to the blue, the colour is quite good on that one.

Hi Kane

I posted a query on a purple one of these about 18 months ago and I think the conclusion was that it was  Japanese.

see link http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,39516.0/topicseen.html    (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,39516.0/topicseen.html)

scroll down a bit to see the one the same as your purple vase.

Thanks Jakgene. It also looks like the shape of the purple and light amber one is a pretty common shape.
