Hoping..someone can help me identify this vase..It is in the style of Tiffany..But it has been determined that it is not...I would still love some info...thanks...Update I had listed and sold the vase on ebay to a very happy buyer...Thanks For all of the help.
You need to be talking to auction houses or museums. I would contact David Rago, he would be able to help you. I've never seen this form in the colors you have, and all Tiffany pieces are signed in some way. I found this at Toomey Galleries, they said its in the STYLE of LCT:

Tiffany produced vases in this form but I've only ever seen them in that light celadon color. I would fire some photos over to David Rago's website, they'll probably know what the story is with these.
Great piece regardless, very desirable, very attractive
I can help you on the chairs tomorrow, I have the name written down somewhere
Hello there, do not be disappointed as I have a vase that looks almost exactly like this one that you have except my colors are a bit more muted. Mine looks exactly like this one: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9005222
which sold on liveauctioneers for $1500 (I still think that it is worth more though)
There is another documented one that has the exact shape but it is all in one color (which does no justice for the vase) that link is: http://bstrap.artfixdaily.com/artwire/release/4473-tiffany-favrile-pottery-and-the-quest-of-beauty-through-january-3
This one is from a very Reputable dealer Lillian Nassau LLC.
I haven't had mine authenticated yet, but it feels right. And I don't believe that it is a copy, because if it was, whoever made the forgery would have faked a signature on it, that would be simple. Also, when you look at your vase up close, you are certain, that this is tiffany craftsmanship.

Tiffany pottery is very rare, I find it slightly suspicious that these are apparently so common that two people on CW have them... That one on LiveAuctioneers, I don't know what that mark is underneath but it doesn't say LCT. One of you two should email pictures to David Rago and see what he has to say. If anyone knows, it would be him
I appreciate everyones response..I have had it look at I sent it to a very good collector and dealer in florida..It is not a Tiffany..It is a very nice vase but unfortunalty not a tiffany..I have seen the ones above ..I was a little disappointed but at least I know..Im going to sell mine on ebay..so if anyone wants a beautiful in the style of a tiffany jack in the pulpit..it will be on there this weekend...Thanks again
Could it be an Amphora vase?
HI..it is possible..Im still doing some research....thanks
To Stillwater: I have sent an email To David Rago...Hope he responds..Thanks
I'd be really curious to see what Rago has to say. I mean, its the EXACT same form as the Tiffany pieces, and they weren't popular enough to be copying back then. Maybe a later copy? Lalique and Tiffany WERE copied a lot, I have seen some direct copies of Lalique before, and I mean DIRECT copies. The lovebird vase for instance.
I had spent a lot of time looking at the two pieces...The tiffany vase is 11 .5 tall mine is 12.5 they are both done in white clay..but the flowers on mine are much more elongated than the tiffany vase..otherwise they are almost identical..Im hoping he responds..It took me a while to get others to respond to me..Im sure they get bombarded with questions...Ive got my fingers crossed.
