Riihimäen Lasi Oy
1910 - 1990, Riihimaki, Finland
Notes from D Breukelaar:
Production
of handmade glass stopped in 1976. The Finnish Glass Museum moved to the
Riihimaki site in 1981. Ahlström bought Riihimaki in 1985, but closed it
permanently in 1990.
The
pig must date to pre-1976. From 1977-1990 was automated production only and
crystal blanks were bought in from Austria, Italy and Turkey (I am hoping to go
to Finland in Feb, to confirm all this).
In
fact Riihimaki also ceased production of pressed glass at the beginning of 1976,
as part of an agreement with Nuutajärvi.
