The speckled mint/celadon matte glaze with small purple-brown flecks is characteristic of Eslau's output. Eslau produced mint green glazed vases in the 1950s, and light blue/mint glazed pieces designed by the Esben & Lauge brothers were manufactured during the 1960s. Based on the geometric, almost Art Deco–influenced bottle form and the glaze style, this vase most likely dates to the late 1950s or 1960s.

Eslau pottery was founded by the two brothers Esben and Lauge Larsen 1944 — the name being a combination of their first names (ES + LAU).
The clean, undecorated geometric form of your vase — with no hand-painted motifs — points at Esben & Lauge themselves as the designers or possibly Niels Refsgaard, who is associated with geometric Eslau forms. This piece has an attribution mark,
