Does anyone know about glassware? I haven't got a clue.

[saythatagain]

My mum has passed onto me two boxes of Astra Continental Glassware champagne saucers. They were given to my parents as a wdding present in 1962, so I suppose they're retro. I have no idea about the value (if indeed there is any). I've tried Googling and all that comes up is a Finnish chap who apparently designed them....I think! Any information would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Bumpety-bump

Even if its to say....no!

I'll ask my friend who knows about these things !

Thanks Mary Ann.
I have had a look on ebay but found nothing like them.

she gave me a Finnish or at least Scandinavian thing once, but I think she knows a bit about retro glassware - worth an ask anyway !

Nah - I've just been on Google again and found the name Margrit Thacker; it says she designed the sunburst range though.
I couldn't be that lucky to possess something that was worth something.

hey saythatagain - my friend doesn't know but has a friend whose brother might - do you want me to pursue this ?

Yes please! I've come to a the end of my searches and don't know where else to look. Thanks

Astra is designed by Martti Rytkönen

it is a current range but don't know if they still produce the ones you have

Are they in the original boxes? If so they may be worth something. Not a lot I wouldn't think though

Oh hang on
He was born in 1960 so I guess not him!

ok, have emailed my friend's friend !

Margrit Thacker looks like a typo for That Woman

What on earth is a champagne saucer? What you put it in for the cat?

A champagne glass a la babycham
You know a wide one

Ohhhhh, thanks CD.

(With a cherry in?)

They are in their original boxes CD, with one missing in one - my mum reckons that happended around 1964!

Friend of friend reports back that glassware doesn't fetch much these days - can't really offer any more info though - sorry !
