The bottom part of the vase looks like it's part of the 1978 "Classic" line, but I don't see the basket top on anything in that catalog. However, in the 1983 catalog, I find a classic bottom-basket vase item numbered #8321.
Hope that helps,
Diane
This is not in catalogs 78 to 90
It looks like pieces of different designs?
Perhaps an 'afterthought' or afterword item?
NOT A CATALOG ITEM
PAUL I"M 100% certain this was an end of day product.
Not in any catalog.

I just sent Hillary a scan of the page from the 1985 catalog, with a close up of the vase in question.

Oh, and the designer in 1983 would have been Don Shepherd.
