Hi, I am hoping for some help on the identification of this quite large vase. It measures about 12" tall and is about 9" wide at its widest point.
It has a flat polished rim and is quite heavy. Colour charcoaly grey. I was thinking it had some age to it as there is some wear to the base and thought perhaps Scandinavian (?). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have added some other topics today if anyone would like to take a look. Cheers! Kerry.

one for sale on ebay with label looks similar 270581382415
hope this helps
Mod: Just for completeness (for when someone hunts this down after eBay has deleted it), the vase in the ad is a cobalt blue uncased vase, quite different in profile but with a similarly shaped large bulge. The label reads 'RYD' Sweden.

Looks very similar to one in Della's GG album here:

It seems they were sold by Rosenthal:

Hi, thanks for that link. It is definitely identical. I just need to use my translator now to see what it says! Very pleased with the id of this huge vase. It is fascinatingly big!! :kissy:

Hi,
you really won´t need a translation; there´s nothing relevant in the text.
And please mind, that the appearance of the word ´Wagenfeld´ is nothing
but keyword spamming.
Perhaps a question for Ivo: Do they still produce glass themselves?
Cheers,
Dirk
