This is my haul from the last two weeks. An Ikora platter (destined for Sean), Iittala Stellaria candle holder by Tapio Wirkkala, cool lighter, opalescent cup, Kosta Boda purple Atoll, KB snowball and an Irice canister which I just thought was cute as heck. Then there is my mystery votive. Anyone have an idea on this one? I run into this style occasionally but this is the first time I took the plunge...any ideas appreciated.
Also take a look at the name that is on my purple KB...what's up with that?
Sorry friends, totally feeling lazy and this post is showing it. Promise to perk up...
Have just taken my first sip as I have been texting with you!
V, that lovely box in the background will get to you at some point.
the opalescent cup/tumbler appears to be current production by Mosser called Eye Winker; a reproduction of EAPG by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton originally called Genoese from 1889.
Thanks Tall Cakes! Since it was 50 cents I thought I would take a chance! As always I appreciate the expertise!
eye4 you gotta be quick!
Inky, thank you for the love.
Love your items!! Kosta Boda made a serving bowl/dish "similar" to the colored votives (yours is in purple), you can keep an eye out and make a set. Also, if you like the Orrefors on ebay (from the link you posted) then you might like one of my favorites... look up the "discus"! Straight out of college I worked at a beautiful jewelry store which sold all of this stuff, and I was obsessed! Nambe, Mariposa, Baccarat, Jurek, Vietri... I "couldn't" leave even when I found my "career" job, so I stayed on part time for about 8 years. I'm always wishing I bought more when I had the discount! I'm a fan of the snowball as well, one year for Christmas everyone got a snowball because with my discount they were only about $5! They are great! I gave my Raspberry votive away as a gift...why did I give this stuff away!?! Check out Simon Pierce, it's not Scandinavian, but beautiful glassware. I think he started in Europe but is now settled in Vermont-I believe.
eye4 my email is on my profile, send me some mail!
I believe the atoll comes in five or six colors.
I didn't think I was finding anything but have when I pulled it out of my trunk, it turns out to be quite a bit. I am trying to slow it down and only cherry pick. You see how far that has gotten me.
MaggieDog. I would have totally kept working there too! Thank you for your kind words and great story.
