Sorry for the crappy pictures but it's so reflective its almost impossible to get a good picture of the design. Lead crystal vase measures 9" tall, 5" across base and 3.5" at the rim. About 1/4" thick. I haven't been able to find the etched makers mark so any help identifying who the maker is would be appreciated.
Nicely cut and styled. It looks heavy with that thick wall and birdbath base. Can't help with the name sorry.
It is ridiculously heavy, I'm leaning toward Scandinavian but haven't found the mark there either
It's the double C logo of Cartier the jeweller: http://ca.cartier.com/en-ca/collections/accessories/accessories/cufflinks/sterling-silver/t1220395-double-c-logo-decor-cufflinks.html
Apparently the pattern was marketed as La Maison du Shogun https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/cartier-crystal-vase-la-maison-du-242769749
Well now cushmanh - that's a treasure to have. And congrats noob for the ID.
Wow! Cartier, I'm surprised! Its definitely the right logo but its not a match fore La Maison du Shogun. At least I have a company at last! To be honest I have no idea where I got this vase but I know I wouldn't have paid very much for it.
Thank you, Thank you Noob!!
I've emailed Cartier to see if they'll help. Can't hurt to ask.
It is very hard to photograph and edit crystal photos. Try putting a black cloth inside of it, see how that works. There's no doubt it's Cartier, as noob says.
Thanks for the photo tips!
Well I have a pattern name: Bijoux. Appears to be part of a stem ware collection.
