ZBS jumps to mind. Is it Neodymium?

This vase is blue Ivo, would'n't Neodymium glass have had a more amethyst tone? Are you suggesting it could be Moser?
Thanks,

Thanks Ivo,
Can you possibly direct me to a ZBS website that may show similar pieces, please?, as ZBS is not a maker that is familiar to me.

Try it and see if it changes colour under a fluorescent light

Thanks Nic,
Nothing similar on there that I can see I'm afraid.
I can only find beads on Ivo's suggested website. Is there a more relevant link there that I might have missed Ivo?
Have you actually seen a vase with a similar shape & colour by ZBS Ivo. On what evidence do you base your suggestion. I wan't to list this item on Ebay and don't wan't to include a Company name without first being fairly sure of my facts. I'd rather just add it to my own collection if I can find room!. I really do like it, it reminds me of a Manta Ray.
Just tried it under flourescent and the kingfisher type colour looks just the same. Also no change under black light.


Cheers,
Bryn (not Brian)
