Title: is this genuine Nuutajarvi??
Post by: fazi27 on April 02, 2013, 10:18:46 AM

Hi Everyone!

i came across these 2 pieces of glass, but have no idea if these are genuine or worth anything, therefore i would be grateful if anyone could help me to identify/value them.

the first one i believe might be a Nuutajarvi, but K Frank signature does not look right and i think it might have been added later. the "bottle" or "vase" is made of bubble glass and has a slight purple hue to it.

the other vase i know nothing off, besides it's been bought around 20 years ago. it is a lovely, quite heavy vase with green and grey glass accents.

any info will be much appreciated.

Mariusz

hiya Mariusz and welcome to the glass message board.

I do not believe the sig is genuine. I would half expect Kaj Franck to spell his own name right - and no self respecting fin would omit the umlaut in Nuutaj"arvi.
It is also legible....

The second (presumably unsigned) item looks to be a streaky knobbly vase by Whitefriars - it would probably be best to post it in its own thread so replies for each item don't get confused.

Def a fake sig as Ivo says Nuutajärvi & Franck spelt wrong & although it's hard to see it looks like they have spelt Notsjö "Notsy". The form is very reminiscent of Erik Höglund.
