Hi,
colour, shape and base say Riihimäen to me, but I can´t find this vase. Is it?
TIA

Looks like a variation of the two vases in the centre of the middle row in >> this pic on precisensan.com (http://precisensan.com/antikforum/showthread.php?14665-En-finska-eller-en-danska-eller-vad&s=d247c7f516d1d3f09ef11ffdd4508c96&p=91149&viewfull=1#post91149), so should be Riihimäen by either Aladin or Helena Tynell...
edit to add: those concetric rings at the base seem to be quite typical for Riihimäen vases from that period (at least I have them on several of mine)

Thanks, Michael - exactly my thoughts concerning the base; knew it from Ruusu and
Reimari. ;D
It´s close to 1472, but since the base area is different it must be another pattern...
Tried Laatutavara and designlasi - to no avail. ???

Seems to be a rather scarce Aladin piece, then :D
Just some more observations: here is a pic of a vanished ebay auction (http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/m/mzweV8cbRyajwkns1Ial22Q/140.jpg) showing the same vase (if it isn't the one you bought, there has to be at least one more around)
And I have noticed that in many of Aladin's designs the distinguishing feature can be found in different vertical positions (like the Tulppaani vases here (http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/47090-tulppaani-vases-tamara-aladin-riihim)); and the author there claims that the green vase at the right should exist in a rare version with all the rings at the top, too.

Brilliant, Michael! Thanks for your research work - much appreciated! :)

Research is (at least) 50% of the fun! ;)
Unfortunately nothing definite came up in this case...

Little doubt for me that this one is Riihimaen Lasi, I have seen a few before. I would leave my options open for designer though.

Thank you, John. Did you see them in other colours, too?
