This vase is 6 3/8" high and 3" in diameter. It has its original label. Fairly thick and heavy, probably something like 1.5 lbs. It has a slight amberina cast to it from some angles.
Not sure what I paid for this, but probably under $3. I could not find many examples of this vase and no labeled examples. Some of the Bischoff catalogs have survived and this vase appears in some of them.
Not sure of age, but probably 1950s-1960s. Sometimes misidentified as Blenko. Anchor Hocking made a similar themed vase but different enough from Bischoff's vase that there is little danger of mixing them up.
Some history of Bischoff Glass and some other glass makers.
