Flat flask shaped vase, likely a British maker, looks to be dated '14. I don't recognise the mark though, I'm assuming it's the makers initials combined to make a monogram.
21cm High, 12cm at widest.

gorgeous colour. Is is signed on the actual base or around the edge of the base?

:) It's signed on the base.

Solved this one.
Maker is Kathryn Roberts, based in Brecon, Wales.
I might well take it along next time I go as I know where her shop is (wanted to go in last time but as Brecon is closed most of the week, I missed out) If you do ever want to go to Brecon (it is lovely), I recommend not going on a Monday or Tuesday as most shops, etc are shut. Many are shut on Wednesday too. Lots of confused tourists wandering about!

That's a superb colour and so unusual. Really lovely to have in a collection. I suspect it's not a colour easily found.
I hate when that happens when visiting an area. So annoying.

In Brecon a few weeks ago and had a nose in the window of Gate Glassworks, think it was a Tuesday and it was closed - they will open by appointment Monday to Wednesday though. Some very interesting glass being made there, the items I liked are not shown in this link but there is a whole series of bottles like Suzy's:
