Title: more long standing mysteries

This bubble-and-stripe vase has been with me for at least 15 years and I've never seen anything like it. Finnish has been suggested but never confirmed. 19 cm (7 1/2" for the metrically challenged)

Textured brick vase has a very nuutajärvi feel.  23 cm (9")

Tinted crystal vase (rings like a bell) with an optic moulded wavy pattern.  I have always thought it must be a WWW vase (Webb, Whitefriars or Walsh) - but a specialist of fierce and undisputed reputation who saw it last year did not recognise it as such.

You certianly know how to cheer me up. Prince Charles anyone?  :lol:

Prince Charles: The son of Elizabeth II who is well known for his unusually large eared commemorative items.

Probably nothing to do with him though.  :lol:

Perhaps the striped one is inspired by some of the glassware used in medicine, leaching and letting jars with the stripes representing blood vessels.

It would be interesting to have seen it being made too!

@2 I saw brick vases of this type by Gullaskruf but with a vertical rib pattern, no checks

Ivo, your funny bumpy vase is reminiscent of these in the Riihimaki Glass Museum album here... http://www.pbase.com/weisteen/image/35667726

Sorry unable to find a photograph for the suspected fin with the bulbous ears - maybe one of these days I'll re-shoot.
The oxblood bark vase I saw identified as Davidson the other day - but not convincingly so. I have no idea where the photo went.
and the moulded vase was this one.

OK, thanks Ivo, one's better than none. :) I rather like your moulded vase too. :thup:
