I found a couple of these (slightly unreliable sources though) attributed to Tamara Aladin, would anybody be able to verify this?
thanks

A reliable source:  http://www.designlasi.com/en

Have a look under 'popular searches'  Aladin, Tamara...just off out so can't look myself

I've seen this form with an original Japan label and a similar one with a foil West Germany label.

Thanks max, that sites on my list but i forgot to check it, will have a look through. Hi snesbit how certain are you it was this form?? as its very much like riihimaki the feel, weight and quality and its very similar to a number of Aladins work
cheers

One of these is shown (same colour I think) in Millers 20th Century glass by Andy McConnell as Riihimaki, yesterday I lent my copy to someone so I can not give the page number but remember it being towards the front of the book.

 :hiclp: :hiclp: :hiclp: :hiclp: :hiclp: for john, yep page 42 and the same colour 1965-1970 does'nt give the designer though just lists 4 of the most well known..aladin, still, okkolin & tynell
 so still got to try and find the designer for it, but definatly closer
Max, had a browse through the site lots similar but none the same as this one
There is one on ebay but they dont give the designer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/60s-Vtg-Riihimaki-Art-Glass-Vase-Eames-Holmegaard-Retro_W0QQitemZ130329805514QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Art_Glass?hash=item1e584302ca&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Definitely not Riihimaki

I've seen them with Austrian labels (to add to the German & Japanese !)

I've seen this form with an original Japan label and a similar one with a foil West Germany label.

It would not be the first time a mistake made it into print, nor the last.
