If that's the one you mean, Marcus, I have 6 in amber and green. 3 different shades of each, but none of them matches either of the colours that this vase has been seen in. 

Sorry about the mention of a blue vase, that's an error of mine.

The vase at the start of this thread is a burnt orange colour.
The one in Andy McConnell's book is described as grey/green.
The recent eBay item is described as blue/green, but I think it's the same as the vase in Andy's book.

Hi Chris,
Your mention of blue is not mis-leading.
The other vase, that impinges on these deliberations, appears in a particularly scandinavian , I hesitate to say steel-blue, unlike RSW, and clearly distinct from previously known/identified VHJ Obal/Sklo Union colours. That blue is similar to Ruda. The greater range of 914s I see, the less convinced I am, that your amber vase saw its origins in Czechoslovakia.
With this vase, as you illustrate in amber, the grey-green is so untypically Czech that only Nemsova springs to mind, and there is still no current evidence that this factory, produced these colours.
Regards,
Marcus

There were 3 of these in the recent exhibition in King's Lynn.
- Amber
- Steel blue
- Dark grey

The attribution wasn't clear, but the nearest label said Vaclav Hanus...

Hi Chris,
These, as far as I am aware, have not featured in CGR, nor in any of the catalogues that will be published on the CD-ROM, on the 9th of November.
regards,
Marcus

Thanks, Marcus.
I quite agree with you on this one.  We must find the colours!

Hi all,

This vase is Polish, produced by Ząbkowice and given the name 'Krater'.  It can be seen in the 1971 catalogue (scroll down to page 33):  here.
