Thrift shop find today. It is 10" high x 4.5" wide, very well worked base with raised enameled decoration. As I was browsing through the examples of Bohemian glass on CW, trying to find a similar shape, I ran across IronLace's post from a few days ago and was struck by the similarities in the enameling.

Though the shapes are completely different, the pinks seem to be close. The first two images are close to the true color and the last two are under extremely bright light to contrast the depth of the enameling and get a good shot of the interior which also shows how opaque the vase is. It has a very thick external layer of clear glass and a much thinner pink lining. There were two of these in the thrift shop, but I only took one, for $3.99, I think. If ya'll think it is worth the effort, I can go back and get the other one. It is about 50 miles from where I live.... Putting it in Bohemian Glass to attract some attention to it.
Really lovely pink vase with gold floral enameling, great find
Thanks, Jenni! I didn't go back for the other one.. I found some Moser Bohemian glass that is similar..
Thanks for loving my enameled vase!

It's a really nice vase...yes, the enamel work is similar to that on my vase you mentioned. I would say I'm fairly sure it's Bohemian. I would have gone back for the other one at that price - what a bargain!
Thanks, IronLace! I am going back to the store where I bought this. I will take it as sign that I have lived an exemplary life, if it is still there. ;)
Thanks for loving my maybe Bohemian vase!
