ANOTHER BUTTERFLY LADY flower vase.

It is 22cm (8¾ inches) high x 29cm (11½ inches) wide x 17.5 cm (6⅞ inches) deep.
Seen in crystal and blue in a frosted finish.
Other colors possible are amber, green, and pink.

Until recently I hadn't know that these vases existed.
It just goes to show that there are still glass jewels which continue to turn up out of the blue and this vase is one of them.
It was kindly brought to my attention by a collector from West Yorkshire in the U.K.
The Maker and Country of Origin is unknown at this point in time.
​
However it is possible that these vases were made by 
​
VEB SACHSENGLAS an East German enterprise post World War II.


Should you have or know of a makers catalogue or other documentation that can confirm the Maker and Country of Origin please contact me.

The collector has mentioned and I quote 'The figure might have been the top part of a table lamp'


It is possible that one day a flower frog will come to light that was made for this figurine to make it into a two piece figural flower frog.
The collector has combined the ERIKA figurine with a Water Lilly patterned bowl.

The bowl was made by the BAROLAC Glass Works.
It is 5 inches (12.7cm) high x 9 inches (23cm) in diameter, # 732.
