    Hello,

    I am nursing a budding obsession with Scandinavian glass from the mid-century, and stumbled across your community while searching for information on these blue glasses that I recently purchased. They were unmarked but the seller said they reminded her of glasses designed by Saara Hopea or Kaj Franck for Nuutajarvi. They are 7" tall by 2.5" at rim slightly tapered (1 7/8" at bottom).

    Does anyone know who made these and whether they come in other colors? They are sooo nice and make a glass of water taste 10x better! :)

    Cheers,
    CC

    Mystery Solved

      OK solved! Iittala design # 2204 by Tapio Wirkkala. These beauties comes in olive green and dark violet as well. I have acquired 3 of the olive green and now on the hunt for some reasonably priced violet ones.

      I identified these on a Finnish online vintage shop, which has lots of glass goodies.
