Icy textured Bowl ID

Post by emmysparrow on Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:53 am

Hi!
I have come across this beautiful heavy crystal bowl... it reminds me of Tapio Wirkkala's pieces for Iittala.. but I cannot find any pieces like it in my references.
It measures 21.4cm across & has matching smaller bowls... thanks to anyone who can help ID it!

I have one too. It is one absolutely gorgeous bowl. I've been wondering where it came from but not got round to checking it out. I did wonder if they could be a newer production maybe, but it's a fabulous piece of glass.
Interested to see if anyone comes up with anything on it.

Definately Ravenhead, Topaz pattern. Designed by John Clappison I think.
