Topic: Contender for ugliest vase of 2013

Yes, it has a "rosy glow" in the photos that doesn't exist in reality.

It just looks dirty - really like a bit of ancient, grubby bone.

Isabelline or Isabella Grey is the name of this colour I believe.
This particular colour kept popping up in bulb catalogues selling bulb vases.
In the 1870s you could buy a certain vase in the colours Jet, Turquoise, Green, Rose du Barry and Isabella Grey. Very choice they said!
Naturally I looked up this Isabella Grey and came across the story of the Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain.
It's worth a google!
And for what it is worth; the vase is believed to have been made in Bohemia for the English market.

Possibly that's what it's supposed to be, except this "shade" is created by the combination of three layers and a bulb vase is more likely one.

If you have two you can click them together and you're back in Kansas!

More likely Asgard!
