These vases were made in the late 1950s in Golden Amber, Flint, Twilight, Sapphire and Ruby. ii appears in the 1957 catalog and the others arrive in the 1960 catalog. The range was re-launched in 1962 at the Blackpool trade fair with a number of other vases in Midnight Blue, Shadow Green and Amethyst. As well as reusing these designs, the range utilised a number of lamp moulds for gourd shaped vases (see next CD). i. Pattern 9548 in golden amber (3¾"); ii. Pattern 9474 in twilight (7½"); iii. Pattern 9553 in sea green (4¾"); iv. Pattern 9548 in sea green.

Cut crystal vases with polished rims. i. Rare barrel shaped variant pattern unknown; ii. Pattern C520 introduced in the 1957 catalog (10¼"); iii. Pattern C540 (9") Sapphire Blue (also made in Sea Green and Flint).
Items from the 1961 catalog supplement
This range was introduced briefly in 1961 and is very rare. The decoration was spirals of ceramic on dishes and streaks of ceramic on vases. The ceramic did not easily take to the blue or red glass to which it was applied, causing the range to be withdrawn after only a short time in production.
