Like my last glass posting, this is densely packed spatter made up of red, white, blue, and purple amethyst elements in a clear matrix probably dating from pre-WWII Czechoslovakia but the similarity pretty much ends there. Gone are the small elements and the spatter is made up entirely of confetti-size and larger chips. This vase has a clear casing. It stands 7 1/8" (19.3 cm) tall. The unmarked base has a diameter of 3 1/8" (7.9 cm). The classic shape is one that seems to have been made in some slight variation by every glass blowing house in Czechoslovakia.
Mystery or No Mystery? Almost everything is in some way a mystery to me.
Looks like interwar Czech production to me!
I'm with Thomas. I was just going to crash, but these colours woke me up ! LOL !
Very “US” patriotic!

Thanks Phil - looking at your two vases in the links I would tend to think two different makers - which two, I couldn't say. Also, I see what look to me to be very similar shapes on pieces with enameled flowers and wheel-cut and ruby flashed pieces by Egermann and the like. I suspect there were many glass houses making a very similar shape.
Thanks everyone for the love.
Agreed - certainly not an uncommon shape for the period.
