Thanks to all who have contributed their thoughts / expertise in trying to help identify this vase. Though no definitive ID has been made yet, it seems as though the consensus is that it is American in origin; likely a later 20th Century Studio Glass example done in the manner of early Tiffany or Loetz.
Still looking for a positive ID; no signature; approximately 5" tall. All opinions are welcome.

BeautifuLLLLL
Thank you all for the loves. It is truly appreciated.
STUNNING!!!!!
Thanks, Sean68.
I have looked at the piece a few times. My Loetz IDing "skills" are that good to give you a definitive answer. Based on pictures, it does seem to have a resemblance to Phanomen Gre. 29. Sorry that is the best I can do. Hopefully in bumping this up - some of the Loetz enthusiasts will comment.
Not Loetz
Mac63, Thanks for taking a look; I appreciate the feedback.
dlfd911, thanks for taking a look; I appreciate the feedback.
Could it be Kralik? It shares some features of the rare spot and swirls (w/o spots) decor.
Cogito, thanks for the input. I have to say, that's an interesting thought.
The colors in the wave patterns are certainly very similar. However, the waves on the Kralik pieces seem to be a bit more uniform (they form a fairly consistent warped diamond shapes); whereas the waves on my vase are a bit more random. Having only seen a few pictures of the Kralik pieces, I do not know if this is true in all cases or if there was more variation. It's certainly something to research further.
I'd say it's a modern American studio piece, done in the style of early Tiffany. The design is very Loetz/Tiffany like, which was very popular (to copy) in the 70's. It looks like it could be a Charles Lotton piece, but I think he signed just about everything he did. Early Lundberg would be another possibility. I'd see if they would claim it as one of theirs. I would say almost definitely American, and probably late 20th C. Definitely not Loetz, and probably not Kralik either. That's my 2-cents.
dasullywon, Thank you for stepping out on the glass limb...I completely agree with you...the vase is an American Studio Glass Example...late 20th century...examining the ground pontil and ground base tells the whole story...
Dasullywon & JJZ, thanks for the input. I considered those options as well, but would have expected a signature. I do love a good mystery.
If anyone out there is a specialist in 20th Century Studio Glass, I'd love to hear from you as well :)
Nice piece....I can see from your pictures that there are no wear marks to the bottom. That usually tells something about the age, at least most of the time. When I find art glass that is the first thing I look for.
Hi.
I am thinking one of the more modern Czech art glass pieces. Lovely piece however.
