Hi Taylog1,
I have to say I like the last one you posted better, mine looks too finished for my own taste. Was that one yours too? Also, does your vase have cranes going all the way around it? or just on the front?
Now Im really intrigued as to the maker, and the series itself. Looks like he made many different shapes out of it.
Here's a close up of the cranes:
