Pip:
Hi all, I've been contacted by someone browsing my site who has this vase they'd appreciate an ID on.  The owner was told it was Swedish and that's my gut feeling also (perhaps Elme?) but I'm really not sure.  With the owner's permission I've posted their photograph below and wonder if anyone here knows more about it - cheers!

Della:

Hi Pip,

I have seen a similar one on the board, like yours, a good few months ago. It was Max's I think and was living in her shed (I could be way off mark here  ::) ) I will see if I can find the thread again, but it was about 14 months ago.
My gut feeling is Italian, but again, I could be way off the mark.  :-\

Pinkspoons:
Empoli, Italy, if memory serves...

Pip:
Thanks Nic and Della - I'll pass this onto the chap who's vase it is.  It's funny but I never think of Italy when I'm faced with this sort of glass - it just never crosses my mind - I've made a mental note to try and think of ITALY instead of always assuming Scandi!!!!

Connie:
I *think* Ivo posted on in an amber overlay. But I can't remember any of the terms used to describe it in order to do a search.

But I think that Nic is correct in that it was eventually identified as Empoli.
