Mmm yes, that one of the Tiimalasi shapes: http://www.designlasi.com/en/esinehaku?keys=&tid2=23&tid5=All&tid1=All&tid3=All&tid4=244

Here is one on ebay in the States in clear: http://cgi.ebay.com/RIIHIMAEN-LASI-OY-FINLAND-FINNISH-CLEAR-ART-GLASS-VASE-/310201028448?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48396c0f60

I have one in red in the large (28cm) size that orginated from Europe

and here with its green counterparts

Bang goes that theory then.

Hehe  yes!   

To be fair though, I have only ever seen this one, and it's 28cm as opposed to more usual 20cm size we usually see in the UK.
Like Wayne, I've never had a red or amber in that size.
 
Oddities do turn up though, this is the only brown example of this vase I've ever seen.

Here is number two (unless it is the same one!): http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pid=11749&fullsize=1

A really lovely colour in direct sunshine, I think of it as a cinnamon sort of brown.

Number 2!   (it's definitely not the same one)

Here are some more shapes in the cinnamon brown which you don't see very often.

I've been using the first vase in your first image for a flower vase for 6 months...    :ooh:

Robert 1960: What a beautiful cinnamon Riihimaki hoop vase - I've been after thatparticular one for a while now - You're not interested in selling it are you? javascript:void(0);

I've got the equally rare dark blue one amongst my collection.

Lovely designs.
