Flat flask shaped vase, likely a British maker, looks to be dated '14. I don't recognise the mark though, I'm assuming it's the makers initials combined to make a monogram.
21cm High, 12cm at widest.

gorgeous colour.  Is is signed on the actual base or around the edge of the base?

Solved this one.

Maker is Kathryn Roberts, based in Brecon, Wales. 

I might well take it along next time I go as I know where her shop is (wanted to go in last time but as Brecon is closed most of the week, I missed out) If you do ever want to go to Brecon (it is lovely), I recommend not going on a Monday or Tuesday as most shops, etc are shut.  Many are shut on Wednesday too.  Lots of confused tourists wandering about!

That's a superb colour and so unusual.  Really lovely to have in a collection.  I suspect it's not a colour easily found.

I hate when that happens when visiting an area. So annoying.

In Brecon a few weeks ago and had a nose in the window of Gate Glassworks, think it was a Tuesday and it was closed - they will open by appointment Monday to Wednesday though. Some very interesting glass being made there, the items I liked are not shown in this link but there is a whole series of bottles like Suzy's:
