I PURCHASED THIS, DAMAGED , OVER 40 YEARS AGO AT A ANTIQUE SHOP OVERSEAS. THERE WAS NO INFO AVAILABE. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS SITES, I.E. SATIN GLASS FOR ONE AND UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT FAINTLY RESEMBLES THIS. IT IS IN THE SHAPE OF A FLOPPY HAT WITH A TWISTED HANDLE IT IS A VASE. THERE ARE NO MAKERS MARKS. THE GLASS IS SATIN (?) THE DECORATION IS A HUGE GRAPE WITH LEAVES ALL ADDED. THE HANDLE IS THE SAME GREEN AS THE LEAVES AND IS TWISTED. EVEN THO IT WAS DAMAGED, I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I FEEL ITS SATIN GLASS AND DEFINITELY A EUROPEAN MAKE. APPROX 7 1/2" INSIDE HANDLE TO HANDLE, APPROX 11" TALL, BUBBLES ON OUTSIDE BOTTOM. THE GRAPE IS ABOUT 4 1/2" DIA AND 3" LONG AND WAS ATTACHED AFTER THE VASE WAS MADE WITH A GLOB OF CLEAR GLASS.
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I'M JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHO MADE THIS??
Stunning !!!! "IT COULD BE CZECH ART GLASS". But I could be wrong!!!
Looking at the last photo, looks like it is probably by Kralik, their "Sea Urchin" decor.
Cool piece!

I agree it looks like Kralik Sea Urchin Applied Flower.
THANK YOU TO ALL THREE OF YOU, RIGHT ON. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF KRALIK. HOWEVER I DID A SEARCH AND FOUND A VASE ON EBAY THAT HAD THE SAME GRAPE AND LEAF DESIGN. NOW I KNOW AND WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR EXPERTISE AND SWIFTNESS.
I don't know how I missed this.....it's positively gorgeous. I have a Kralik thorn vase with applied grapes posted here....should you wish to look.
