HELP NEEDED PLEASE? ID = Boda Afors

Can anyone help identify the maker of the Kingfisher Blue high gloss vase shown in the image attached please?
It is an unusual shape - bit like and upside down tulip, think it is from a quality factory.
Its 20cm high and about 17cm at the widest diameter
Many thanks

Welcome to the forum Steve.

Your vase was made in Sweden by Boda Afors, design is by Bertil Vallien.

Good series of examples here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/90081-12-parts-of-the-blue-series--bertil-val
