These vases are not collected by many people due to their rarity and the difficulty to get a 'collection'. The glass is very thick/heavy. The large pieces in this range were only produced in 1974 when the colours Sage and Lilac were introduced. They vary greatly in rarity between the shapes and colours.
Overall I would rate these as best to collect at present as due to their overall quality and scarcity I see room for improvement in prices in future (if you can find them).
