    I purchased this vase this past weekend at the thrift store. This is a very old vase that is made of a very thick faceted glass. On the front of the glass is etched a butterfly and some flowers. I do not know who made this vase but on the bottom there are some numbers and may be a couple letters. This vase is shown with some of the glass flowers that I found this past weekend

      It's Orrefors. The first two letters are 'of' (Orrefors), the next letter is P (for designer Sven Palqvist) and the numbers (2683) date the piece to the early 1940's. Very pretty!

      Lovely older Orrefors. The flowers and butterfly engraving is timeless.
      Your blooms are awesome!

      Very pretty vase! The 2683 is a style number - this vase first appeared in Catalog 17, published in 1944. That means Palmqvist designed the vase between 1941 and 1944. The D5 is a date code - yours was made in 1966. (A1 is 1935, and the count uses only digits 1-9.) I believe that the 131 has to do with reissuing the style, but I haven't quite figured that part out yet. Enjoy it!
