Hi, I'm new here so please be gentle :kissy:

Please help me to ID this vase. I think it might be Scandinavian c1960. Cheers

Hi there, and welcome to the board!

The flowers look very like those in a new piece I bought for my mother for Christmas 2007. It was a huge perfume bottle, and it had been made in China. It will be a few weeks before I can get to Mum's to take a picture of it for comparison though.

All the best,
Cathy

This is a useful site.  Scroll down and click on 'Product' or simply run through the numbers underneath. 
http://www.cnexpot.com/abglasweb/glaspg1.htm  You'll find these vases - or very similar - on page 43.

What a great site to bookmark, Leni. It has a lot of the Chinese pieces that are often seen in online auction sites. Thanks so much for posting the link

Thank you Leni, I will have to study that site and get clued up on what is being produced in China. I heard that Chinese glass factorys are getting very good and will soon be reproducing well known pieces, so be warned.
