I may be wrong but I'm sure that I've seen the 'Hand Made Quality' label on an Ikea piece recently as well (a glass dish). I've just won the item (and hopefully some more interesting bits) in an auction so once I've picked them up, I can check whether my memory serves me correctly (or not which is also quite likely!).

Got the dish now and the label is the same apart from on my glass blowing little fella, he's got an apron on with IKEA written on it. By the way, I wasn't disputing previous comments at all, just wanted to add further information for reference / discussion. I guess this means your pieces aren't Ikea but perhaps come from the same supplier...

O-oh...  :-\

Looks as if they really are quite "recent" and the sticker is definitely the one Ikea uses.

I just got my hands on IKEA catalogue 2012 this week and the items match what is presented as
IDGRUND - a 3 piece set for the bathroom. Designed by Sigga heimis. Price 9.95e/set (in Finland)

I'm not sure I haven't seen this "hand made quality" label (minus the ikea reference) on contemporary Portmeirion glass too.......
