| we have been collecting... we have been collecting these for a few years and have noticed that some of the Riihimaen vases have the clear glass casing and others do not, especially in the case of the tall plain designs, does anybody know why there is this difference? We always thought it was perhaps due to the production date as some are etched with the makers mark whilst others are not? lovely collection by the way - jealous much! 😉 | |||||
| The Italian 'Sunvases' | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Robert Leach | General discussion | |
| The Italian 'Sunvases' are of uncased glass i.e there is no casing of clear glass over the coloured... most marked at the base. Here is a side by side comparison which should show the difference. The real deal is on the left. (the difference in the neck treatment would occur between these sizes in the genuine article) I love a lot of Bo Borgstrom's work too- especially the coloured cased pieces) and the others you mention- just that I can't collect it all. I'm in the process of thinning out my collection and diversifying a little. I have more collections, a ... | |||||

| ... inexpensively. My real interest lies more in designs by Tapio Wirkkala, Timo Sarpaneva and Per Lutken. I'm not sure why I respond to their work so strongly. Also, I have a glass book says that the Sun vases were copied by an Italian company. How do you tell the difference? Not that I'm likely to come across very many. | |||||

| Clocks | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| Clocks Imagine how a normal flip clock works: There's a clock movement inside, powered by batteries or the mains, and once a minute it electrically releases a catch that allows the next digit to flip into view. [That's not EXACTLY how it works, but close enough for this discussion.] Your slave clocks work like that, but with one difference: There's no clock movement inside; there's only the display with its flip mechanism. The slave clocks depend on an EXTERNAL clock movement -- a "master clock" -- to generate the electric signal that advances the clock dis ... | |||||

| Knowledge from a Danish;-) Hi, I stumbled upon your discussion, and found the details very interesting. I show a great interest in danish architect-made furniture, and to begin with I did not hesitate to say that the stamps was Fritz Hansen... But what I thought was most suspicious was the white printing on the ant chair, and the screws used to fix the legs to the shell... Please let me know, if I can help you in any way, it would be a pleasure... And if you need any kind of danish furniture, let me know, the price difference between the US and here is huge; ... | |||||
| the_beloved | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Gustaf | General discussion | |
| the_beloved Disappointing indeed. Seems like you got a lemon batch. I have used mine (in different colors and sizes purchased over time) for between three and ten years. They have survived wild parties and the harshness of everyday use, and still look brand new. The difference may be that they have all been hand washed (never had a dishwasher). I would exchange them if I was you though. ite, remind me to get some plastic cups when you visit 🙂 I second Pegboard's suggestion to go vintage. The one thing I would add, to avoid heartbreaks, is to pick a model tha ... | |||||

| SDR In my experience, self-described "cheapskates" are rarely cheap. Rather, what they want is just different from what other people spend their money on. Hmm... I was about to write, "Nothing wrong with that," but it's ludicrous to think that there ever COULD be anything wrong with it. Like I said before, vive la difference. | |||||

| ... occasional breakage. And they aren't irreplaceable antiques, so you don't need to feel guilty if one comes tumbling down :o) Or, alternatively, you could buy Duralex glasses as suggested earlier: they are virtually indestructible. Actually thinking about the glasses I own & use, there is indeed a big difference in how easily they break: 1. Duralex glasses => Breakage: none. I have had these for several years, use them almost daily, and i had none going to pieces just yet. I have some with a horizontal line (can't find them anywhere anymore) 2. Iittala Ote g ... | |||||
| You never identified the glasses you recommended, Fastfwd-- | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| You never identified the glasses you recommended, Fastfwd-- They're beauties. I agree with your line of thinking, up to a point-- what's seven bucks if it's the difference between mediocre & fine? Insignificant if it's a one-time expense, not so insignificant if it's a regularly reoccurring expense. My income's finite, the additional $168 spent on yearly glassware replacement then wouldn't be available for the other things that are of value to me. (Recalibration of bionic arm hydraulics ain't cheap in this town.) It's not even strictly a matter of money, at ... | |||||

| ... as there's nothing wrong with plastic plates, mismatched coffee cups, or dining tables made from old doors. I'm just saying that if a person can recognize that a glass is reminiscent of Tapio Wirkkala's work, maybe there'd be something of value -- to that person -- in a design that was less utilitarian than a jelly glass. If you really like the jelly-jar look, great. Everyone's got his own taste, so vive la difference. I'm just not sure that I understand your admiration for the design. I mean, I can imagine that it might have certain emotional associati ... | |||||

| ... that design has some value to you. Could you pay $12 per glass? For $12, you can get really nice glasses -- nice enough, maybe, that the pleasure you derive from using them will outweigh the cost of replacing them. I mean... You say your husband breaks a glass every two weeks. So if he breaks $5 glasses, you pay $10/month, and if he breaks $12 glasses, you pay $24/month. Will the $14/month difference really hurt? Or in other words, will that $14/month hurt more than drinking out of a plastic cup? Plus... What if your husband's depth perception improves, ... | |||||
