Ernest Gordon coloured vase

Hi,
Paul’s post ‘ Ernest Gordon Afors Stem Vase ‘ got me thinking about this one.

The GH I understand indicates coloured and clear glass (Jonas) - which this one is.
Can I assume the number 553 is its pattern number?
I suppose what I’m trying to find out is whether this series had a name.

It’s about 15cm ( 6”) high and has a light grey blue colour

I really like its simple but effective design.

Many thanks for looking  :)

Hi,
Just a thought- could the 553 be a date - 1955.03 - and not the pattern number?

Anne:
According to Miller's Glass Fact File A-Z (Ivo Haanstra) the signature format is Åfors + model + designer so I think the 553 is the model (pattern) no. Unfortunately that number seems to postdate the only Åfors catalogues I've found online.

Scott13:
Hi Anne,
I really appreciate your help.
I thought it might be a model number, but it’s good to have it confirmed.
Many thanks  :)

 Hi,
Had a look at the online catalogues downloaded by kerstinfroberg - as expected, nothing there remotely like mine  -
but as regards to the glass shown all I can say is “wow” :o
