I saw this vase today and took some pics of it. First of all, it is quite tall at around 15 inches.....  I have seen the decor before but can not place where....  The body is pale green with applied opalescent ribs in pink. there is quite a bit of age wear underfoot, and the rim is ground and polished quite nicely.  I am thinking Bohemian or English, but am certainly open to suggestions....
