I just bought this vase and knew instantly by learning from other CW friends posts, that this could be something special. It is in excellent condition and is very heavy for it size being only 10" tall. Glass experts, please ! comment. Thank-you.
Thank-you aura. I love it too. It has a nice satin feel on the surface. I have to head back to the GW right now and see if anything else of this calibre is hitting the shelves. I snatched this one right off the cart as it was being wheeled out of the back room.
Thank-you mikelv85 and u2 vetraio50 for the loves. Cheers :)
Love this vase! :)
I'm no glass expert, just wanted to say it's very pretty! :)
Thank you for the very appreciable comments OneGoodFind and katherinescollections. Thanks for all the love clicks too everyone.
The closet identity to the possible manufacturer of this vase is Rainbow Art Glass Co. Huntington, West Virginia. Some of their work seems to resemble this vase of mine.
I knew I'd seen somewhere very similar vase and i've just come across it on a Czech auction site. Unfortunately no one word about ID.

Thank-you Ivonne. Trust you to hit a home run for me as you have in the past. It really seems to share many similarities. Mine is only 5 cm. taller. The only person named Brokova I currently have come up with is Dagmar Brokova. Poor lady. Dagmar Brokova vs the Czech Republic. I played around with the currency number listed on the link out of curiousity, and 2,100 czk (kc), is about 87 us, or 121 cdn. There is so little to go on, so this was fun doing.
'Brokova vasa ovijena niti' means ' a spatter glass vase with threading' but when I wanted to translate brokova/e it read "shotgun'.The photo isn't very clear so maybe this is rather 'overshot' ? Lady Brokova would have problem too :-).
I've bought a pair of blue peloton vases from the same retailer and he eventually wasn't fair to me so I don't want to have anything to do with him any longer.
Anyway,I'll be "digging" for something...Best ,Iv.

Just have to say...Thank-you Ivonne. I know you put some time into this for me and it's is appreciated greatly. After viewing your links, I'm feeling confident with your judgement it is of European origin. Mine sure does resemble the orange one, except the orange one looks a little rushed and is 1/4" shorter. Thanks again :)
my pleasure :)
Yeah, i've got a similar one... https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/59/de/b9/59deb9dc8d9abb693581bcee95adf681.jpg
Still trying to ID it.
