Spinning Starlet, Karhula   Updated 12/14/2007

According to Glen and Stephen Thistlewood, this is a sister pattern to the Karhula Spinning Star, which has the same large dominant whirling star but slightly different detail above and below. The blue vase show here is 6 inches tall with a 2 1/4 inch base that has a 16 point star. It sold at auction in 2004 for $325. On eBay in 2005, a 6-inch blue example sold for $230. At live auction in 2005 a marigold example with pinched-in top brought $75 while in 2007 a blue flared vase sold for $155.
