I think you have a small vase.

Maybe you could write to Studio Ã…hus, and see if you can get any info on Christian Zirnsack.

Hi John,

Hey, don't shout! (Allcaps are considered shouting online.) The consensus is that it's more likely a small vase, but the very best information you'll get will be from the guy who made it himself. Be patient - he might not check his email every day. Alternatively,

OK, more from Christian today:

the little green objekt i think is a flacon! for parfume...It must be one of the first things i did after leaving the glass school in Orrefors! I started working at my fathers firm around 1984/85! Then i worked there for 12 years..Then i left for family reasons and didnt work with glass for many years. for 4 months ago i started with design there again!

So I think this wraps up the maker nicely. Huge thanks to Christian for his info and look forward to seeing more of his work. If anyone has Facebook and wants to see what he's doing now here's his Facebook page with photos of some of his current glass: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christian-Zirnsack-design/124182670973702

Christian's going to let me have dates for his upcoming exhibitions etc...
