Tamara Aladin Molded Glass Carmen 1777 Decanter for Riihimäen Lasi Oy$390.00
Gorgeous molded decanter designed in 1969 by Tamara Aladin for Riihimäen Lasi Oy Glass in Finland. It is molded blown glass, with a unique ridged neck and pontil mark at the base. The color is an orange-red... looks beautiful with light coming through it.
Here is a bio of Tamara (pictured) from the "Mother Sweden" website:
"Tamara Aladin (1932-2019) was one of the leading representatives of the illustrious Finnish glass design of the 20th century. She is most known for her years at Riihimäen Lasi in the 1950s-1970s. Tamara’s artistry is represented at numerous museums in the Nordic countries."
