I understand the problem with the Whitefriars forum, and I'm quite willing to put the Skruf ID behind me and accept it as Walther, Oberglas or whatever else - but I need a bit more to justify a different name.
And that is where I run into trouble in my research - the Skruf - Lars Hellsten ID is really, really widespread on the internet. The vase or series is common enough for me to find lots of times, but always attached with this exact same attribution. I've seen it on forums and with very different sellers in different countries. Yes, I see a lot of weird attributions and mistaken identities with lots of glass - but usually that is a lone seller making up a name that would sell better. Sometimes there is a good base for the mistake as vases that look very similar. And sometimes a wrong attribution in a book causes the problem.
I've tried the names you suggest - but I'm not finding my vase. And when I find my vase, Lars and Skruf are there... I really wish someone here would know what the source of this particular attribution is. For it to be so unanimously, it has to be some sort of usually reputable source, like a book.
And I repeat about the quality that is repeatedly being bashed now - it's not a bad quality vase in my opinion. Yes, it's pressed glass, no it's not crystal, but the detail of the pattern is pretty good, and I've seen a lot, lot worse in pressed coloured glass. I consider it to be of higher quality than the Walther vase I've included for comparison.
