I know the picture is not good (I will try and get a better one tomorow, in daylight) but at the same time I bought a Whitefriars 1962 patt 9596 Soda vase which I know, any comments on the shape would be appreciated as I feel they are both from around the same era, but could be cpmpletely wrong.

Not Riihimaki...

 I suspect it is the whitefriars carafe that should have the glass companion that sits on top?..and that the colour is Midnight Blue ??..

Thank you Robert, you are right and both pieces I got are in the 1969 catalogue. Sue
