Scandinavian Glass 2

SOLD

Dating from the 1960s or thereabouts here is a lovely purple/amethyst glass 'baluster' vase from one of the Swedish glass manufacturers of the period.  Thick and heavy this is an extremely attractive colour and shape - these vases look just as good displayed on their own as they do in a group.  Bears the remains of a 'Made in Sweden' foil label to the base.  Please see all photographs for alternative images and close-ups.

This is a really funky cobalt blue glass bowl from the Taalari range and designed by Tamara Aladin for the Riihimaki/Riihimaen Lasi glassworks (Finland) circa 1970.  Extremely heavy and chunky it has textured sides with a greek key type design in relief - this is a must-have retro item that looks amazing on display and is also extremely usable.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Here is a fantastic pair of small blue glass tumblers designed in 1958 by Kaj Franck for the famous Finnish manufacturer Iittala as part of his 'Kartio' range.  The photograph doesn't really depict the true 'blueness' of the glass, being deeper in colour and less transparent in reality.  They're thick and heavy and you can feel the quality - they display beautifully near a light source and would make a lovely gift or addition to a glass collection.  Still bearing their original 'Iittala' manufacturer's labels and marked to the bases with 'Kaj Franck Iittala'.  We also have a pair of matching candleholders for sale.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Here is a set of six very elegant tall aubergine coloured glass hi-ball tumblers.  In a fabulous straight cylindrical shape they're extremely good quality glasses made from a vibrant coloured glass.  We're estimating these to date from the 1960s or thereabouts - and are not certain which maker to attribute them to but from the look and feel think they're almost certainly Scandinavian - probably Finnish.  They would make a great gift and would be a pleasure to sip from.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
