Aseda (Sweden) - Bo Borgstrom designs Empty Yellow Vase - Bo Borgstrom for Aseda

Post by mjron October 11th 2009, 11:29 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and happy to have found it.

I believe this is a Riihimaki piece but I have not been able to find one quite like it.  It is unsigned.

Any help to id would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it's Riihimaki - I'm just on my way out to take my daughter to school, I'll check my books for a date when I get back shortly.

I'll have a cheeky guess while pip's out, MMMmm I'll say 1976 ish Tamara Aladin, but this is more Pip's Domain and she'll probably say i'm miles out Aseda (Sweden) - Bo Borgstrom designs 190269

I've not seen this type of cased opaque glass from Riihimaki, and can't find any reference to it in my (few) books on Finnish glass - so I'm quite surprised.

It's not opaque is it? It looks clear cased over a yellow colour see through glass to me (possibly uranium). Perhaps mjron could clarify for us...

It's a Riihimaki shape I've had before in ruby and turquoise clear cased.

It looks opaque to me - you can't see through to the other side of the vase, nor to the line where the vertical and horizontal surfaces join behind the vase.

Fairly sure, thinking about it, that it's a Bo Borgstrom design for Aseda. He designed a series of vases in cased opaque yellow and red.

Nic, I'm wrong and you're right (as usual!) it's an opalescent yellow cased in clear and is a 1960s Bo Borgstrom design for Aseda (see page 34 - Fire & Sea).

I still need to get Fire & Sea. I've Smoke & Ice, which is very rarely useful due to its decidedly duff fact-checking (or lack of), but it does contain some pretty pictures.

Hi Nic & Pip,

Thanks very much for all the help! I must admit that I own Fire & Sea, but couldn't locate it. Fortunate, because now I've found this wonderful site.

Thanks again,

Bo Borgstrom (b. 1929)

Active at Aseda from 1961

This is an unusual Bo Borgstrom design - it's one I've not come across before with this particular 'faceted' type base finish.

The vase is around 10 or so inches tall (can't find it right now - I think Paul's moved it).

Aseda (Sweden) - Bo Borgstrom designs Empty Pair of bubble base glasses - Bo Bergstrom design for Aseda

Post by Thesigeng January 9th 2011, 9:18 pm

Pair of glass tumblers with a nice "ting" to them, rather grey so probably lead, unusual shape i think.
Round bubble glass base with nice quality glass bowl. Bases have been ground and polished.
I have no idea who made them.

The shape and colour are very similar to one of the Riihimaki vases designed by Tamara Aladin.
Are there actually holes in the base? Might be a second or a pre-production piece.

There's one listed on Ruby Lane and ebay "Blue Scandinavian Art Glass Vase Vintage Mid Century Modern Tear Drop Base". The seller tentatively suggests Aseda.

That base reminds me of one of Bo Borgstrom's designs (I think it's called Icebreaker) so I'll go with Aseda too.
