Title: Oiva Toikka "Flora" Pattern, But What Are They?
Post by: dorian_graye on February 20, 2012, 01:33:09 PM

Howdy.  I found these two glass pieces with the Flora pattern.  I thought that they were possibly sherbet cups, but I noticed that the pattern was upside down.  Are these candle holders?  I've not, nor can I find, examples of these anywhere.  Thanks for your help.

Hi, that's interesting.  In my eyes the pattern unfortunately does not exactly match.  I became suspicious first as I felt the design was not very much like what the Flora of Oiva Toikka other items are.
Then I found ebay sells "rare" items (dip set and divided tray/plate)  that seem to have the same pattern as yours and attributed as Toikka Flora.  Well they really are "rare" in that sence I believe.  ;)
