ice / rock design candleholder, maker / designer?
hi,
can anyone help me identify this candleholder, please?
admittedly i´m not sure it is finnish , but think it has some similarities to
a santalahti bowl...
it´s ca. 14cm wide and 8cm tall
TIA

Your votive is Jääpuikot (Icicles), made and/or designed by Kari Mölläri, first in Napapiirin Taidelasi in 1984. Similar votive (with the same name as well as the designer) also appears in a Humppila cataloque in 1987, Hight 85 mm, D 145 mm, "keskipakoisvalettua kirkasta tai värillistä lasia" = "centrifugal moulded clear or coloured glass (?)".

Thank you both for your reply - much appreciated! I didn´t look for a while and admittedly I´d almost given up to find out anything about it.
Lasilintu, thanks for the detailed information. It´s always nice when you can put a name to something you have. I haven´t heard of Kari Mölläri yet. Is there anywhere to look to find further things he designed?
I wasn´t too active here on this forum, so please excuse if this is a ´stupid´ question: Would uploading a (hopefully much better) photo be welcome?
Kind regards,
Dirk
Minultakin tämmöinen Mölläri löytyy kirkkaana, minkähän hintaisesta esineestä on kyse... Kari Mölläri näyttää olevan aika vaiettu aihe internetissä...
if it is finnish glass, i think it probably is santalahti, i don 't remember other that kind of shape and colour from other designers, wiser can correct me, if i am wrong
