Sorry for the upside down photos, still trying to figure out this iPad
Loving it but wondering if my tomatoes will like growing out the bottom. Got your gist & really like it.
The 2nd photo left to right has a makers paper tag on it does that help? There are initials but I don't know who they are
agree that this does appear to be a Tiffin #16256 Poppy Vase
Just a couple of details - the decoration on this piece, with the tiny glass beads over painted areas, is called "coralene" - it didn't hold up well over time, and it's pretty common for there to be damaged areas; looks like much of it here is in decent shape. The red version of this vase is much harder to find than the black ones.
I think this would have been made in the 1920s. Tiffin was originally one of the U.S. Glass plants - I can't see the label too well, but you might see if it could be a U.S. Glass label (should be a shield with the letters USGC.) That would make it easier to nail down a date.
USGC label yes indeed that is what it is
