I bought this vase a very long time ago and have never known whodunnit.
Ivo gave a  good lead this evening of Borussia on another vase (I immediately thought football team lol, I live in a house of football mad boys) , but combined with Haida in searches it seems to throw up some very similar pieces - although mine is not double overlay but a thick single layer, very deep cut.  I had been wondering if the vase was Kralik as I've seen similar shaped cameo vases id'd as Kralik.
Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts or had seen similar please?
Lots of wear to the base and I do think it is old if that's anything to go by :)
Many thanks for looking

a bump - calling Ivo for help please?

Ivo, do you have the book Russian Glass of the 17th - 20th centuries?

On page 125 there is a vase.  It's orange but a very deep bright opaque orange.  The vase has circles cut all over it as decoration. Cut to clear.  Cut rim, very thick like my vase.  The cutting looks identical to the cutting on my vase.  I'm just wondering?  Gus Khrustalny 1950-1960.
If you do, might you have time to have a look and see what you think?

Thanks :)

oh thanks Ivo - I don't have that book.

I have the one from the Corning exhibition with the history of Russian Glass 17th - 20th century.  It's in there on page 125 which is how I spotted it.

I am not certain that vase is from the same family as the shape is different, it does not seem to be high gloss and the cutting is lenses only. But it is a distinct possibility.

There is nothing like it in the Gush Kryshtįlny book and nothing in the Soviet glass book. There are other red cut-to-clear items of course, but no confirmation is forthcoming.

 Thanks so much for looking for me.  I think that vase is high gloss although difficult to tell from that pic and their description. I couldn't see that particular vase in their exhibition and just wondered what you thought.
I'll keep an eye out.

Back to original idea  - Its Kralik: a few weeks ago I posted a picture elsewhere (Bohemian group on F/Book) of a kralik piece and a kind German expert amazed everyone with a design page of Kralik Cameos - Mine was on there and I just checked so is this - with a code 5340/6 -sorry can't really post the page as - It's not mine.

Thank you Mike.  I appreciate your help.

The cameo I was thinking of was this one which appears to be the same shape as mine.

My vase is 8" tall.
