certainly, woofwoof
The pitcher and cylindrical bowl are the "Flora" design by Oiva Toikka for Iittala or Nuutajarvi (I think one took over production from the other at some point but I'm not sure).
The vase is the "Fauna" design by the same. None of these photographs well, unfortunately. I see the bowls all the time at estate auctions but not the other pieces so much, and the Fauna is rarer than the Flora. They made tons of other pieces---drinking glasses, serving pieces, etc. They also came in colors but I've never seen those in person, only on Japanese collectors' websites.

more glass
First one is a little heart vase by Timo Sarpaneva. It is in rather rough shape with a lot of tiny surface chips and one nasty scuffed spot.
Second, one of a set of fourteen sherbet glasses by Per Lutken for Holmegaard, Denmark. I bought twelve of these in their boxes at an auction and put them away and kinda forgot exactly what they looked like. Then a few years later I picked up two more because I liked how they looked, and only just now realized that they were the same thing when I got them out to photograph! Duh.
Last, the Party dish by Göran Wärff for Kosta Boda. He also did a Party Marina line with a lovely lobster on the platter. I would love to find one of those someday.

heart vase
I've seen that Lutken heart vase. He did a lot of that pale blue glass. I like it a lot.
My little heart vase is signed and dated ('56) or I might think it was Lutken.

dates
I think I've seen other dates as well for this style. This is a pic of the bottom of my vase.

Looking good Spanky. Some...
Looking good Spanky. Some of those pieces remind me of Wirkkala's glass ware. He did a series called "ice", don't quote me on that, with similar patterns as the pitcher etc...
Robert...do you just dip and dry?

Thanks
I know the ice-inspired Wirkala pieces you're talking about---the Thule line. He did some with tree bark texture too, I think. The Oiva Toikka pitcher actually has raised stylized flowers and plants, it's just really hard to tell in the photo because the stuff on the other side shows through.
Iittala also had a line of glassware that had raised dots in concentric circles. I can't remember the designer or name and can't find it on the Iittala site. I like them a lot.
I wouldn't mind a set of these glasses by Göran Hongell for Iittala.

Ultima Thule
is the Iitalla line
I think the Toikka ones are 'Flora' & 'Fauna'
as well as Kastehelmi (dew drop)
This is a great site I use, and do pictures for:
There is some beautiful stuff there

Great!
it is also similar to Nanny Still's Grapponia for Riihimaki
It never ceases to amaze me just how much great design has come out of these 3 or 4 Northern European countries ..it's staggering really ...

Flora & Fauna in color
More colors and pieces that I never see in person. I think I like the clear glass best, though I love seeing pics of these.
