It is blown in an optical mould and I would think it is Czech - perhaps by Borské Sklo. Though never discount the possibility that it could be Italian, as very similar vases were made in Empoli.

I have checked CGRs and catalogues, seems to me that this shape with foot and bright colour point us rather to Italy than to Borske sklo - Czechoslovakia.
