It's Neodymium glass http://www.mindspring.com/~reyne/neowhatsis.html
search the board for Neodymium and you'll find a lot of examples. :thup:

It is a bit different to the examples I have in that mine are pale amethyst(Purple) in ordinary light and a bright light blue under flourescent lights.  I agree it is a type of Neodymium glass.

The ZBS (Zelezny Brod) factory in the Czech replublic are very fond of this particular colour (my examples of ZBS have the exact same colour shift you describe) - but this is one of the patterns/styles I haven't seen before. That doesn't mean it's not theirs, it still could be a direction to look into. Especially if there isn't any wear at the base, it might be a relatively new model. Another factory to use this colour a lot would be Moser, but their vases are usually marked at the bottom as such.

The colour is used in other countries as well, I remember we had an Austrian or French neodymium dish a while ago.

Hope this helps,

Caithness is awfully keen on it too. It's not unusual at all.
It's sometimes called "Alexandrite".
