I've a pair of small Holmegaard bulb vases, c.1980s. But what would they have been used for? They're only 95mm high with a diameter of 45mm and an opening of approx. 25mm.

Thanks in advance.
(This is more of a technical question than a specifically Scandi one, so it's probably more suited to the main glass board - at least for the time being)

Crocuses perhaps? ???
-
I've had a look around t'internet for crocus bulb vases, and I suspect that you're right, Max. :)
-
Or acorns, the Dartington one is an acorn vase. Yours is cute
-
Acorns was actually my first consideration, after remembering a conversation about them on here - but I'm not sure if the opening is a little wide at 25mm?
I really like them too, but they're headed straight on to the shop site when I get a chance. I'm trying not to hold on to too much stuff these days. ;D
-
You're right this may be a crocus vase - not acorn or snow drop. Have you managed to document them as Holmegaard or is it an assumption? And if documented, what are they called in Holmegaard terms?
-
One of the vases has a later HG label. I'm fairly sure it's not been applied at a later date, and they were sourced within Denmark - although I've not managed to track them down in the scraps of catalogues I've accumulated thus far.
