    When I saw the vase I was sure it was designed by Tamara Aladin.In the Internet most users attribute it to her, but actually it is designed by Erkkitapio Siroinen,what is documented on 20th century glass page.
    I was enchanted by its shape,balance,quality of glass and the colour.
    At the bottom there is 1379 design number.

      Riihimaki was one of my first glass collecting labels, and I still love to see it.
      This is such a great form, in that wonderful teal green they used, and beautifully made and finished as was usual.
      So happy you have it Ivonne!
