The Italian ceramics company Gabbianelli (wikipedia) also produced distinctive coffee cups seen in the series.
This Gabbianelli orange vase was designed by Franco Bettonica (1927-1999) in 1970. It was rectangular, 16cm wide, 8cm deep and 32cm tall, with a hole in the middle. In the series it was often seen on the shelf tops in living quarters, although never with any flowers (even if other vases are used alongside it). Other Gabbianelli vases appear (see below).
Identification thanks to Chris Bentley in Space: 1999 The Vault (2022).

Koenig's quarters in Missing Link; the vase is just to the left of Vana.
Zoref's quarters in Force Of Life; it's on the wall shelf, on it's side. The other ceramic vases visible here are also Gabbianelli, including the foreground green vase (designed by Studio O.P.I.).
The Gabbianelli O.P.I. vase, made in 1967, is 30cm tall and 14cm wide.
