Nuutajarvi Wartsila stemmed glasses

Clear stemmed glasses with Nuutajarvi Wartsila labels, can anyone put a date on these and maybe a designer?.

Thanks,

rob.

You'll probably be able to work out a rough idea for the dates by researching that label - Nuutajarvi and Arabia were both owned by Wartsila and later on acquired the Iittala brand - it's quite a complicated history however.

Thanks pip, i have tried but only by searching Nuutajarvi, will try these one's later though.

Thanks
rob

from what i have found and yes this is very complicated Nuutajarvi was marketed under Arabia from 1971 to 1977, then in 1988 Nuutajarvi merged with Iittala, so what happened between 1977 and 1988? would my glasses fit somewhere within those dates?
or would they be before 1971, I give up

I searched through numerous items and found the same labels on clear bowls designed by Oiva Toikka but age unknown, so none the wiser, but its a maybe

'Aurora' series stemware, by Heikki Orvola in 1972. The plastic label was used from about 1973 onwards.

I knew you'd know Nic ...

Thanks nic, I only lost a few hours sleep trying to look for this info , if this label is of any interest maybe you or i could add this to the label section.

thanks again
