If it were Kosta Boda it would presumably have the base stamp like John's above does Otis... I suspect they were cheaper copies of the KB version made in recycled glass.

I wonder if these are part of the Bormioli "Happy Break" range?

oh im glad this just popped up save me finding it again.
whilst out today i was in a local garden centre and they had tons of these vases in grey, white, pink, purple, red, black, yellow, yellow ...... and so on. Also some in different shapes/sizes all with a big sticker saying recycled glass no country of maker though, i whipped out my phone and got a snap of the white one was going to take a photo of the grey one and try and get one of the 2 shelving units groaning from the weight of the hundreds of these vases but my battery died.
I will have to send it to anne to pop on for me as im not sure i will be  able to do it yet
