I think this is a depression era vase. Can anyone identify this glassware? The color is purple, not one chip or crack in it.

Hi,
These are two different articles about the colour of your glass. The first one is rather harsh, the second less so.

These articles are important to those wishing to collect old glass. I have an old Spooner which is 'violet', I had it for a while before learning about its' colour. I purchased it because I loved the style, and the colour.
We have an incredibly knowledgeable glass expert here - I do hope he stops by to give his opinion.
looks to be a fairly recent interpretation of an EAPG pattern called 'Eye Winker'. Not sure of maker, but I did find other pieces in this pattern online as well as your piece:

Tallcakes you are still amazing! Hope you are still finding new treasures. RER (Bob)
