This was one of her favorite pieces of glass. She always loved it. It’s only about 8 inches tall and 3 inches wide. It’s rather narrow at the top and somewhat 3 sided around. I did not do it any justice with my pictures but I always loved the iridescent look and it’s shape. I don’t see any markings on the bottom but then again I have never tried to clean it.

This is a Bohemian glass bottle or vase, some had silver collars. I own 3 of these in the same green, they were produced in cranberry and yellow glass mostly. Decor texture is called 'drape'. thanks for posting.
The vase was produced ca 1900-1910, and the most likely houses that may have produced it are Franz Welz, or Kralik.
Gorgeous piece JenniferH !~
I appreciate your comments. I have always kept it in a glass case along with other items. I hope I can learn more about how to identify the maker as clearly I am no expert. She would be thrilled to know that people at CW loved her vase.
This vase is made by Kralik on Drapery decor.
A good article here for viewing and reading from good friend glass collector « Alfredo Villanueva Collado »This is beautiful example you got here, thanks for posting.

Thank you so much to everyone. Oh my goodness she would be honored!
For all the loves thank you to everyone! I was just typing this and our favorite song A Thousand Miles came on the radio. Made me feel so close to her if just for a moment..
