I just went looking for the AHO marks on the net. I found another version of the same vase on Worthpoint. It said :
Early Arabia Finland Scandinavian Marble Lustre Vase
"Stunning four-handled Art Deco Vase with Luster Glaze, Made by Arabia Antiefabrik of Finland. Difficult to photograph, the vase has a metallic glaze, inside and out, that ranges from blue-grey to copper-orange to a rich umber with contrast areas of orange-gold and black. On the underside, covered with glaze are impressed the words Arabia and AHO.

The vase measures 7 5/8 inches by 6 3/4 inches, and ...... "
There is of course another AHO associated with Arabia : KAARINA AHO. She was a member of the Kaj Franck design team.

Love it
