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!?

Scandinavian Art GlassIt isn’t easy to pin down Scandinavian art glass. Like the people of the re…
very cool, and unique:) you should have boughten the steuben , man if was there i would have boughten , chips or not , what were they asking for it?
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.

Understood!
Budek always bring a checkbook with you or cc , you never know what might show up thats the first rule of thrifting and besides the employees at goodwill are supposed to wait 24 hrs when something is put out on the shelf.thats what is was told by goodwill employees:)
GOOD LUCK THE NEXT TIME:)
Thank You Vet, Austro, Bellin and others for your love, knowledge, and words.
