A blue 'Fuga' tumbler vase designed in 1957 for Orrefors by Sven Palmqvist using his pioneering centrifugal force technique still in use today.

bought today - an Orrefors olympic torch candle holder.
I thought at first that it was probably Finnish and made for the Helsinki Olympic games, but having poked around on the internet, i came across another which apparently had a sticker for Orrefors. Anyone know when they were made?
