If the top ones murano then Ferro and Lazzarini have a triangular label
I have the identical piece with no label

I think it is likely this label then as the design one has broader rounded corners.

There maybe other triangular stickers, along with it might not be Murano
The sticker above also appears with Ferro and Lazzarini written across the bottom beneath murano
At the back of my mind there is another factory in murano that makes these vases but I cant rember the name I am sure it started with N, will keep looking

Very likely a label reading Riihimaki Suomi Finland, here is an example: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-13713

I think the Riihimaki may be a reference to the town and not the glass works Riihimaen Lasi (often called Riihimaki).

Reading elsewhere it seems that it was a label used by Riihimaki/Riihimaen Lasi.

Thanks RV...I GOT LOST AGES AGO

I did provide a link to an identical vase that sold on ebay with a triangular label reading Riihimaki Suomi Finland, presumably that has been removed by a moderator.

Is this what you had in mind Jo

How do you pronounce Riihimaki???

by **JoFish** Sat Nov 10, 2012 3:21 pm

Oh yes, there you go, another one!

I think Riihimaki is pronounced: ree mah kee, but don't quote me on it...
