Gulvases are found in two...
Gulvases are found in two versions. Those in coloured but clear glass and those with those which are cased with a white inner side and a coloured outer side. When writing green/white, I mean the last - like the green vase on the left in the first picture. You thought I meant those on the second picture, right?

i love the earlier clear olive too but i meant the white cased version in olive - apparently a prototype that was never produced in any great numbers.

THAT I have never seen...
THAT I have never seen before. Although I've seen a very dark blue (cased) gulvase once. I've been told that the employees sometimes stayed after work at Holmegaard and made weird and wonderfull stuff to themselves or their families. Perhaps these apparently unique gulvases are experiments.
I've also seen a grey cased gulvase, actually here on DA, but as far as I remember it was concluded not to be an authentic piece by Holmegaard. I've heard that a manufacturer either in the UK or in Poland started producing unlicensed cased gulvases in odd colours after Holmegaard stopped their production, but Holmegaard's lawyers quickly put an end to that.However the clear gulvases were produced shortly in the UK with permission from Holmegaard, fx. in a light blue and in a clear version, which were not part of the original colours.
