This one has defeated us. The snake skin type moulding was a favoured decorative theme for Riihimaki of Finland from the 1930s to the 1970s. however this lacks the geometric quality of most Finnish glass. we also scoured the Bagley catalogues to no avail.

What we do know is that this is very well finished and is a truly organic piece of design. We look forwards to being told the origins of this vase.
