Topic: Blenko/Kosta Boda/Iitala? And what are they for?

If you are willing to go to those lengths, it would be very much appreciated.
Is is only really fair for the seller to get a little bit of publicity for providing them.

I don't think we've got too many examples of Japanese labels yet.

Thanks for your understanding, and we share your frustration re bad and broken links. If you can gain permission from the seller that would be super, thank you.  Selling sites images often vanish after a while which does leave us in the soup.  One of the ways we have tried to address this is by creating albums of labels from sources which have given their consent to use them and we archive these onto our sister site GlassGallery (http://www.glassphotographs.com/). You will also find various collections based on areas of interest where members have been collecting and curating images on a theme, as ongoing works in progress.  You are most welcome to get involved in this if you'd like to do so.

The seller on Etsy gave permission to use the images shown earlier in this thread. Here is a link to the auction:

I will send a link to this thread to the seller and add an image with label to the appropriate album.

It's a separate registration on there so I'll need to authorise you when you sign up (otherwise we get loads of non-GMB people trying to sign up and that's not what it's for) - so if you use the same username as on here I'll know it's you and approve you straight away.

OK you're in.   If you get stuck using the gallery look at the help and how to walk through's at the top of the screen and if you get really stuck use the contact technical support link there and it'll email you and I'll come and help.

Thanks Anne! I have also have a masters in computer science and worked in IT for 25 years before retiring, so didn't have a problem getting it done. I added it to the Japanese Labels folder of the Labels, Marks and Signatures folder, since we know it is a Japanese label, even though we don't know the maker.

That's great, thank you, and glad you're OK with the gallery.
