I must admit I have restrained myself from buying one of these on several occasions! I do like them and agree they are a bit "Monart-ish". There has been a vase up for auction recently (hasn't sold several times) described as Monart style or shape which I was also tempted by, which I believe is also WMF/Ikora.
I assume the dates are similar to Monart - anyone confirm when they were made?
