ID confirmed: Amethyst coloured vases from Belgium?

After years of searching, a reader from our website has produced the golden tip which has led to a fascinating conclusion.

The optiek vases under discussion were not made at Boom.
They were not made at Braine-Le-Comte either.

A recent catalogue which surfaced at a flea market clearly identifies the manufacturer as Doyen, a small factory at Havre-Ville near Mons in Belgium.

I've added the new information to the pages at www.hogelandshoeve.nl.

in any case it predates 1968 when they merged with Boussu to form Manuverbel.
