Since this seems to be a lesser known design:
First of all: I don't own any books. Everything written here was either found online or taken from my example:
Name: Rulla (Roll)
Design-Nr: 1319
Designer: Tamara Aladin
Colours: amber, smoky blue,
The sizes seem to vary quite a bit.
Designlasi mentions three sizes but there are many different hights mentioned on laatutavara.
The dimension of mine are:
Height: 238mm
Diameter: base: 115mm / top: 94mm
Weight: 1084g (taken from mine)
The other examples I found online are smaller so I assume that this is the tallest version.
From what I can find on some of the sites that sold examples of this vase, production seems to have been 1972-1976
Most of the vase is coloured glass, the base is clear.
It's aptly named as the top is nicely rolled inwards a little.
There are no signatures or markings on my vase but it has a Riihimäen label.

;D Thank-you. It's very good to have this unusual design so well illustrated here.
I don't think any of us can fault your research and descriptions. :)
