That looks as if it's a polished (almost) round pontil mark.
Somebody going to the trouble of polishing it nicely like that is an indication of quality.

Here is a photo of Carder diatreta at CMOG.  The vase in question doesn't look like diatreta to me - different process of construction.  Lovely piece anyway!

Someone put a lot of work into that vase so not likely to have been produced in any quantity. Unfortunately, the best clue to origin would be from the inner vase that hardly shows in any of the images and would probably be hard to photograph.

I would look to Murano or an artisan-based studio artist 70s-80s.

i haven't seen anything like this in Murano glass.

The white lines on the inner tube of the vase,,are they applied or in the glass ?

Hello

Have you contacted the Corning Museum of Glass concerning this item?  They have fantastic resources concerning Stueben and Carder designs.

Not  "Diatreta" but still looking for answers as to a maker.
Could not get a positive answer from "Corning Museum".
Still searching...

If there is a space between the lattice and the inner vase, then it could be called diatreta. Presumably Steuben was eliminated? Surely going to be hard to ID though. Nice piece to own.

Yes, not only is there a space between the lattice and the inner bulb, but the vase inside has threading around the entire outer part of its body. This can be seen pretty well in the pictures about four posts back.
