Your amethyst vase is a bulbvase from around 1900-1920 I'm guessing.
You didn't say how tall it is, at about 14/15cm it would be for hyacinths but they come small as well. At about 9/10cm (which are rare) it would be for crocusses.
If you go to hyacinth vase on eBay you'll be able to see them regularly.

John , yes please post items in separate topics (I've removed the pics from this one to separate posts for you in Glass) so we don't get confused with which item we're talking about. It's also better to post ID's into Glass unless you know for sure where the item is from and just want more info about it.

Your other items are here:

Your vase looks extremely similar to a heavy amber hyacinth vase I bought recently. Is yours quite heavy?
