I bought mine new for a couple of pounds at a large cheapjack shop in Kendal a few years back. They had 16" and 12" ones, all in blue.

I found these in clear (well that greeny-clear) recycled glass on the Couronne website, but not in blue. Couronne (based in Texas, USA) deals in recycled glass so I don't know for sure who made them - if Couronne make them or outsource to somewhere cheaper.

They are great for pot pourri, fruit, floating candles etc...
