Ok so Vizner is my Hero du jour ( well ever since I found out about him really and my hero worship just gets worse as I find out more).

Well Peter, if you can get a copy of the catalogue Frantisek Vizner: Sklo 1951 to 2001, William Warmus, you will find a useful background to the man and his work, tho much of the book is filled with images of small edition works, and a relatively small range of mass produced stuff, ie the Rudolphova vase etc. Warmus does give the impression of a romantic artist/hero character, a loner, working on his own, and in some respects the hero-worship is almost over-done. But as a resource, probably well worth the money. Not remaindered and only affordably available through Antique Collectors Club, USA web-site. Unless you (like Peter) :)  drool over the man's work, don't buy if you are only looking for a price-guide.

I just checked on my previous hunch: Two very similar Serica vessels by Floris Meydam from 1952 feature in the Meijdam book. True they're H11 x D14 cm and H6x D13,5 cm; True, they're in purple; True, the clear casing in yours is more pronounced - but also true,  Meydam designed tons of items between 1944 and 1986, and he might have dunnit.

I think you might run the item by Antikprat in Sweden as well - it could be Johansfors, or Maleras, or Reijmyre after all....
