p.s. Edinburgh Crystal blowers were trained in and used the half-post technique where it was known as the Continental Working: You can see the method illustrated in Derek Walls's article

  It was wonderful watching Derek at the Conference. I noticed that when he was holding an iron, even without a blob of glass on it, he was gently moving it around and around, it appeared to be instinctive.
Iron in hand, keep it moving.

Seems also to have been made in a bright blue colour:

And possibly bright green:

I can't find anything terribly similar to any of the vases so far from Randsfjord with my own searches, though.

I have this round squat purple version now, must be related to the green one you just linked to. Perhaps my earlier 'not Ikea' thought was wide of the mark...

[Pinkspoons]

I managed to track down the Ikea one that caused the confusion - the similarities were nominal. There's something similar from China doing the rounds, also, but with matted ground pontil marks and 'blah' shapes.

There does seem to be a preponderance of them in the UK, though, so I'm wondering if they might possibly be British.

[glassobsessed]

Another variation.

There doesn't seem to be any bubbles in the one, and the pontil mark is just snapped off rather than ground/polished. So I'm not sure.
