Hello All,
I just picked this up at the Goodwill store about a 1/2 hour ago.
There was a piece of Steuben,( a few chips and pricier than I could afford ), and this lovely thing,......my first choice by a long shot.
It's wonderful shape delighted my eye.
Unmarked, so I don't know where it was made, but my guess is that it's Scandinavian,.........any Ayes!?
Bellin, Thank You for the comment.
The Steuben was of 2 stars, beautiful quality, but 139.95,......I didn't have a credit card with me, ( or a check book ), and only 40 dollars in my pocket.
I'm sure you're right, that I should've acted more quickly and bought it, but another man took over when he saw me pulling back from it. He said he wouldn't buy it with the chips, then when I walked to the back of the shop one of the employees there told me that he'd purchased it after I had walked away,..... Live and learn.
I have an old piece of Steuben, much nicer in my estimation, with a very beautiful engraved Diana, the Huntress on the front. I'll photograph it and post it on this site. I don't know much about it other than that it's signed, and appears to be quite old.
Goodnight B,
T.
An aye here! Åseda Glasbruk?

This is a Nanny Still's Pompadour candleholder, designed for Riihimäki Lasi Oy (Finland), in 1967. The series consisted of two candleholders -standing 22 and 27 cm. tall, and three vases standing aprox. 20, 22 and 27 cm. tall, although I've seen some special edition of 32 cm.
