Topic: Cascade rabbit jelly mould in original box + leaflet - for info.

[Anne]

We had a glass rabbit jelly mould when I was small, the trick was to stand the mould in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes before turning it over so the bunny jully dropped out onto a flat plate.    

PS GlassGallery is back online - if you find glitches please let me know.

I've been fretting since I wrote Iitalla, is it not Nuutajaarvi that made the Kastahelmi range?
Whatever, I had hoped they that range, but they're just very nice Cascade. No "drop" shape to any of the blobs.

You were correct, originally made by Nuutajarvi Notsjo and later Iittala, with Cascade then producing them under licence - see here

Cascade also made Gulvases under license.
Thanks for that link, Anne - now I don't know whether my plate/dish things, (which appear to be candleholders), are Nuutajaarvi, Iitalla or Cascade. Piccies shortly.

I guess its difficult to know without the original packaging.  I did have a complete original boxed set of small Nuutarjarvi Kastehelmi plates and will add the image if I still have it.

T'other Anne, I will upload the leaflet images to the glass gallery, but just wonder where to add them there?  User gallery or other?
Which would be the best place?

[Anne]

Would you like a separate album for them in the Individual Company or Type Research Projects section, Anne? I can set one up for you if it would be useful. We could then add examples if/when we find them.

[Anne E.B.]

That sounds a great idea! 
I can feel another collection coming on....

piccies of the bigger flat candleholders/pin dishes.

Totty wee candleholder, top and side views, and a sideplate I am unsure about, which might actually be the correct Nuutajaarvi range this design is based on.
