I have owned this vase for several years. Now I actually wanted to sell it and had informed myself in order to learn something about its origin. The more I informed myself, the more likely it seemed to be a Kralik vase ("overshot spatter")
Any idea?

Interesting vase with multicolored applied glass frit, the shape and production design does not seem to be by Kralik, perhaps more recent, from another glass company in a Eastern Europe country.
Actually, your vase is quite possibly Mexican glass, and not European at all.
thank you so much for your suggestions. I was first thinking that it might be from the 70ies. The zipples, which are pulled by the grips, emphasize the material, as it became important in art only after the 60ies. Any suggestions or links to similar vases? I only found this one online at ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Rare-KRALIK-Antique-GLASS-Bohemian-FLORIFORM-JIP-Basket-Vase-OVERSHOT-Spatter/293052848498?hash=item443b4f9972:g:jOgAAOSwhSVbdfLc
I doubt that piece in your ebay link is Kralik. Ebay is likely one of the worst tools to try and attribute glass accurately. That sellers listings are riddled with bad attributions.
Thank you again. As I'm based in Germany and bought the vase years ago in Germany, it might be at least European, whether Czechoslovakian or Italian?
