I love especially the craquelé, which is ribbed ending in 6 two-clawed feet. The hallmark on that is HP&S (Henry Perkins & Sons) London 1909. The second is badly rubbed London 1908. The third (1909) is cut and has a clear (?) maker's mark but it isn't recorded in the sources available online that I can find.
As with all of my posts, any information/feedback &c gratefully received.
I would be especially interested in others' experience with hallmarks and the ID of green to clear glass.
Ian, I just saw a vase on Ebay that was identical to your vase on the far left, except that the date on the collar was 1929. Kralik and several other manufacturers made these kind of deco-style vases; similar forms are shown in some of the Butler Bros. catalogs. (I love the square feet!) Moser made green to clear glass quite early on, but I own one, and in my opinion they often used a different, more leaf-colored green. Usually glass that shades from green to clear is referred to as 'Verde', just as vases that shade from pink to clear are called 'Rubina'. When the vases shade from red to green, they are called 'Rubina Verde". I have a crackle glass pitcher that shades from the same color green as in your vases at the base to clear at the top. I have always thought it was Kralik; I'll try to post it soon so you can take a look at it.
Ian, I came across a vase with what I believe is the same hallmark as your third vase - maybe using both we can figure out who the maker was? I see a J on this one...http://s1244.photobucket.com/user/michelle_b007/media/HallmarkforIan.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
Ugh - I don't think they are the same. I'll keep an eye out, though! :)
Really love the clear and green....:-)
Thank you for posting the links, Alfredo.
Michelle - I think they are the same, but unfortunately not as identifiable as others. A mystery for the moment (maybe I will ask a silver aficionado).

JHW SON & CO LtD - John H Worrall - seems to be a good fit. (Although described as a Birmingham, my vases have London marks).
