it also says this, my glass bowl has white bits in it.

Copier also pioneered the use of Graniver, a brightly coloured semi-porous type of glass with sand added to the batch which was mainly used for making cactus and flower pots. He also made extensive use of Tin crackle, a process in which tin chloride was fused onto the hot glass before blowing it out further. The result is a decorative matt white cracked surface.

Links to sites are welcome.  :)
(I do think this has quality - it is better that the galleon-engraved stuff and much better than Partylite). It is easier to see with your better pics.  :)

Looks like a photo of an old black and white pic.  ;D
Much worse than yours! But I can see the similarities. :)
Can't quite make out the logo - but what little I can see, (a bar across the middle, like the bit between the towers) fits.

 ;D I've been staring at it for so long, it is starting to look like faces.
But I do think I can see a sort of sideways on T-shape. ;D

John (glassobsessed) had a copy of the book "The Complete Copier", so hopefully he'll be along with more information.

I see faces too, Sue.  Isn't it more of a roundel than a prunt?  It looks like a shield in a roundel in Cazza's picture, to me anyway.

Are the mods able to amend the title of the thread to Copier?  I spent quite a while trying to find Covier glass 😹

Spot on, some similar vases with that bubbly almost gritty effect in the book, most don't have a prunt, they are called Heralver. Andries Copier design from the 1930s, made at Leerdam.

Another with prunt here: https://wavemaker.venduehuis.com/auction_lot/86313-een-groen-glazen-leerdam-heralver-vaas#lot

Lots to see if you put "leerdam heralver" into google.

Well done Cazza!  Just to finish it off, here is the origin of the elusive image
