Have a huge bowl on fot and 5 amber coloured glasses I inherited from my grandma and granpa. Got no names or anything on them and cant find much on the internet
-
the amber glasses are Italian, I think from Bormioli Parma or one of the other mass producers. They are mechanically made. Timewise think seventies
The green pedestal bowl I have no idea.
Could you please limit future queries to one item per post as we cannot archive multiple queries.
Welcome to the gkass message board, we hope you'll have a lot of fun here. :-)

Okay sorry about that i'll make seperate topics next time :)

hello and welcome to GMB !
your green bowl looks similar to mine (http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/tafelaufsaetze/02223.html) and as you're in Sweden, Strombergs hyttan is a possible maker. Other contender is Poland's Zabkowice.

Regarding the Amber one.
Not in Bormioli Catalogue.
Anyway, as Ivo said sure machine made.
Could it be from USA too. Checked and not Libbey.
Anyway sometimes glassmakers even if not listed in catalogue set specific productions for specific customers.
It's very important for a better ID solving to picture bottom, or details for giving us more hints where to search.
Regards.

I have an amber wine glass like yours which I believe to be from the Ravenhead Siesta Range. It measures 14cms in height with a rim diameter of 7.5cms
Try checking yours against this description.

Not Ravenhead Siesta, different stem.

Checked for: Anchor, Indiana, Wheaton, Libbey, Luminarc, Vereco, Duralex.
Nothing
But look at the pic I'm attaching.
Fidenza had a very close stem in a range called Tivoli, machine made with the "press over pressed" solution.
Could it be something for a specific customer, even If Fidenza barely managed the amber glass.
Design is similar but not the same, having a close look to the lower part of the stem.

Now I’ve looked more carefully at my glass it is not Ravenhead either! It is in fact the same as the one in the image you just posted. I now have the same problem as you. What is it that we have?
As I’m sure you will have already established some people are describing these as Iittala even a respected Swedish Auction house. The more I research the more confusion seems to arise on the maker of this item. Who ever they are they have managed to sell stuff all over the world. I will watch with interest. Sorry that I have not been able to help. Ive attached an image of my glass.

Ok, seen so many time listed as Iittala item.
Which is of course not correct.
Completely different item. Who’s selling as Iittala pieces are seriously playing a bad match.
If I have just a one name to say is:
Vereco Item.
Poor quality, amber glass. Small size cup, perfectly for a middle 70’s early 80’s piece.
