but the shape of the base is a circle... guess no ovalis :/
Yes they are. This pieces are handblown :)
I have seen a very simmilar design in clear glass and it belongs to the Marcel series, designed by Sarpaneva in 1993 (http://www.lasikammari.fi/table/ii/tablei_TS_marcelkannu.html) so I think this might be it... if Marcel was also made in white glass, of course :)
