Riihimaki Finland Tennessee Star Blue Vase

This stunning little vase came to us on winning the bid at an American auction in 2008. We were taken by the beautiful electric iridescence and the unusual shape. The vase is Riihimaki's Blue Tennessee Star and I considered myself lucky to have won it.

The pattern shows up the wonderful iridescence that Riihimaki is known for, to its max and just drips with blues, golds, pinks and amethyst. It measures 5.5" high with a base diameter of 2.5" and a top opening of 4" wide.
