I agree with SEAN. Look for engraved TW on the bottom. It is not always easily seen. I think it is called Pinus. Tapio Wirkkala 1972.
I'm joining the Iittala bandwagon :))
Thank you guys, :-) I'll let you know how I get on with my investigations :-))) x
Yes I looked and found the TW on the base, thank you all for your help :-)
you have tapio wirkkala!! for iittala!!
it is made in finland.

Thank you for the link Sean 68, I must say I don't really bother with glass unlike porcelain, pottery and silver.
I saw a few of your pieces on here and I was in a recycle shops two days ago and saw this vase and thought it was similar to the ones posted on here.
So my first piece of glass bought turns out to be a nice TW one.
How lucky am I? Thank you
Your very welcome Emmatereasa!! im so glad , that you had learned something from me and it helps when you go to the these shops out there:) it is a very nice one that you have:)
