Topic: Neodymium question, please

[Fen]

I have had this heavy, five and a half inch vase for some years and although I had originally thought it might be neodymium I dismissed the thought as had quite wrongly believed that the colour changes in neodymium would be shown by exposure to UV light. A few days ago I put a low energy bulb in my study and lo and behold my daylight purple vase became blue. Just shows what a single incorrect assumption can do. Any ideas where it came from would be appreciated. As I'm in the U.K. I'm thinking perhaps Caithness?

It is not a shape that is typical for Caithness, though they have used neodymium a fair bit.

Having spent the last hour using various words on the search facility on the Board I now think, based of course on somebody else's expertise in identification that it's German - Friedrich Kristall. Fantastic Board.
