Nanny Still (1926-2009), also known by her married name, Still-McKinney, is one of the important modern Finnish designers of glass and ceramics. The body of work she created, mainly during the 1950s and 1960s, serves as a reflection of the period's style as well as being a harbinger of the coming innovations in structure, color and functionality.
This one came home a couple of weeks ago from the first of the month market at Surrey Hills. Love the colour. I think it was originally meant as a candlestick?
Many thanks MOON!

I love it, but I cannot but do it being designed by Nanny Still :)
This one's missing in my collection, I don't know why but I've always managed to lose it in every auction, no matter how high I was bidding for it :)
So you do not think it is one of her designs, Alex?

I do believe this to be Nanny Still!!
This Ufo shaped candlestick is from serie "Paraati" or "Parade".
The serie-number is 1943 and its been in production 1965-1969.
Parade-serie has many other parts as well and it was in the export-catalogue. Never signed!
So interesting.
