Topic: Scandinavian? Aseda?

[Krasner]

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea about this vase please? I'm struggling to find a match.

It is a smokey grey colour with a heavy clear base.

Weight: 286g
Height: 18cm
Top diameter: 4.4 cm
Base diameter: 5.1 cm

Thanks in advance,
Susan

Sorry! Technologically inept!
Below are the rest of the pics.

Aseda is one possibility, the shape is very similar to this one but yours is smaller and lacks the indented 'spikes' in the base.

If not Scandinavian maybe German...

Thanks John,
I have been to that site in the past but had forgotten what it was called to search for it again. I've bookmarked it now.
I still can't find an exact match on there though.

I forgot to mention that the top edge of the vase is smooth and slightly rounded.

I'm having no luck with the German lead (although I did identify TWO other vases while I was looking) did you have a particular manufacturer in mind?

Great when that happens. 

No particular maker, sorry, just somewhere else to look.

Possibly one of the made for IKEA ranges, see current examples here: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50280913/

Oh dear! That would be a little embarrassing

or even for Marks and Spencer, and thus possibly Polish

Why embarrassing? IKEA source from various glassmakers including some good Scandinavian ones...  and M&S - as Christine says - buy from Poland, but both shops also source in China.  It's how these large retail businesses work, and no glassworks is going to turn away business if it brings them a profit...  there's no shame in buying any item if you like it.
