Scandinavian Glass 2

Designed in 1966 by Oiva Toikka for Nuutajärvi (Finland) the 'Flora' range is so brilliantly flower-power and of the era with it's impressed stylised flowers and seed heads all over.  We have two bowls from the range here for sale separately - one larger than the other - would make a very stylish table centrepiece or perhaps even to use for fruit or trifle.  These are very decorative pieces of sixties pressed glass.

From the Swedish glassworks, Pukeberg, are four clear glass bird-shaped napkin holders/rings.  Although we've seen them being mistaken as eggcups they're described by Pukeberg as for use with 'serviettes' so they're definitely designed to stand up on the dinner table and hold napkins.  Dating from the 1970s or thereabouts, they're in great condition - one still bears it's original Pukeberg label.

I absolutely adore this vase - it's impressively tall; is made from a thick dark blue coloured glass; has a brilliant retro hooped shape and just oozes quality.  We've not been able to identify the factory or designer yet however our hunch is that it's very likely to be Scandinavian in origin.  It's a really funky and highly decorative original item.
