From the photos , your piece looks slightly tapered rather than the sides being completely straight, which wouldn't be right for a Holmegaard gulvvase, but I don't know if that's the angle of the photo misleading me.

Forgot to say, it would be a good idea to include measurements.

Welcome to the Glass Message Board Matt.

Not a typical colour for a Gulvase, what would concern me more are the proportions - the neck looks a little short and is that a mould line I can see? That would be unusual too.
