  I'm going to have to agree to differ for the moment
I do see what you mean but there is one being sold on Tradera at the moment listed as Barkvas.  Bark is the same in Swedish as it is in English I think.  So perhaps at the time of naming the piece, whether or not it looked like Bamboo it was called Barkvas,since Aseda do also have a vase known as Bamboo vase that does look like one cane of bamboo.   I have just seen somewhere else that this Barkvas apparently was B5/830, 831 and 832  number depended on height.

Hmmm, if SwedishMom says they are called bark vases, then I would trust her knowledge, that must be what they were originally marketed as, even though they do look to me like bamboo canes.  Maybe they meant bamboo bark?

As they are known as barkvas by the Swedish collectors I think I am going to have to agree. Any more banana skins lying around for me?
