I found a couple of coloured glass vases recently. I was attracted by the simple design and softly curved shapes.They were very reasonably priced so, even though I didn't know who they were by at the time, I decided to buy them.
The vases look good on display. It was only later that I did some research on the vases and discovered that they are Scandinavian. From Finland, actually. The vases were made by the Riihimaki or Riihimaen glassworks, I would think in the 1970s. I'm not certain but I think they may have been designed by Tamara Aladin.
I have a feeling that, now I have these two, I'll have to add more – if I can find any.

Hi, where did you find the vases? I see them on Ebay but would rather hunt for them myself. Love the colours too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Tonya. I was lucky enough to find the vases in a local charity shop. They were with another heavy-bottomed glass vase, I'm still trying to identify that one. If I do find out anything about it, I'll do another post.
