He designed this one in 1936. It's about 12 cm high.
Up to the 50's these kind of vases were made in 3 heights (6, 9 and 12 cm).
Also they were executed in several colours like green, olive, pink, orange and blue. In clear glass you see them the most.
They used other shapes too. I'll try to dig up some pictures of those too.
In Holland we call them ''Spijkerbollen". I really wouldn't know how to translate that. Suggestions are welcome :-)

love pretty paperweights or that is what i would use if for
It's a vase autumn, but they made paperweights in simular fashion. So you're very close.
Hi Bellin, I didn't do anything besides posting this. The hard work was done in Leerdam :-)
Thanks, and you too !
You're welcome Bellin. It's nice to share and it's no good being the only one looking at it.
I WOULD LOVE to see this with a light underneath, I use some of the chinese led
revolving light bases.
Thanks for the loves everybody !!!!!!
I'll try to make a picture like that. I think that daylight, shining through, is the best for this one.
Extremely beautiful, perhaps controlled bubble in Englisch?

Similar vase from Gunnel Nyman Finland 1950s
Thanks for the link. Is the bottom completely flat? I just passed on one at auction because it wasn't Leerdam. The core had a cognac colour. Should I have bought it?
My vase is from 1936.
