2nd from left is Pagoda by Nanny Still for Riihimaki (the colour is a giveaway)
Vase on left is reminiscent of the Pompadour by Riihimaki, but several companies made similar vases to this...including German and Japanese ones..but I don't think Aseda did.
You've got some lovely pieces!
The ones below are often attributed to Riihimaki, but I believe they're by Lindshammar of Sweden, although I've also seen them called Bohemian.. we need a labelled example for conclusive proof!
Caco, I've always believed them to be by Aseda..but I could be wrong. I've seen other Aseda export pieces with the 'Made In Sweden' label..are you in the UK ?
(here's an amber one too)

If you look at the blue vase in the top photo of my last post, you'll see it has the same Made in Sweden label, but I'm pretty sure it's Aseda. The ones on either side are almost exactly the same in construction and they have Aseda labels. I think Robert is correct that they used different stickers. I'm in the US, but I've seen both labels on pieces.
Robert, thanks for the corrections on the two smaller pieces. I currently have others and had more in the past that are probably Riihimaki as well. You clearly know much more about these than I do. I've only attributed vases to Riihimaki if they have the sticker or the distinctive rings on the bottom.
There are more pieces we have in our showroom that I'll have to photograph and get your feedback on.
I'd be very interested to confirm the identity of the 4 pieces in the second photo that you think are Lindshammar. I like the shapes a lot, but that paler color looks kind of weak if you display them next to Riihimaki glass.
The more I dig around the more I realize we have. We have ones we use in a cabinet, we have others packed away in different places, we have still more that we decided not to keep in our shop. I wish we had a nice place to display them like you have. Your display in the uniform color is particularly striking and shows off the different shapes to full advantage. Aside from your green wall, do you display your entire collection all the time?
Maybe as I have time I'll photograph some of my other favorite Scandinavian glass, Holmgaard, Iittalia, Kosta Boda, etc.

I've just seen the Aseda smoked grey set of miniature vases, have to say, I've never seen those before !
It's odd how different styles/ colours and ranges end up in different parts of the world.
Germany seems to be full of the smaller Riihimaki etched pieces like the 1379, whereas one rarely sees them in the UK.
Likewise I've never seen a 1476 for sale outside the US
