Welcome to the board. We can't help you without pictures, preferably take against a plain background: a side shot, a top shot and a base shot at least.
BTW it's Vicke Linstrand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicke_Lindstrand

Christine,

You missed the "d" in Lindstrand. Amazing, the first mistake I've ever seen you make. You are human!

Christine is right about needing photos. Here's the Lindstrand that comes closes to your (Glass Lady) description. It would invariably have writing on the base, btw.

Few (a safer word than the "none" I should use) that I've noticed.

The one on eBay isn't a Lindstrand, IMO.

 langhaugh: The one on eBay isn't a Lindstrand, IMO. - I second that!

Anne: Isn't Lindstrand usually marked? - I believe there are quite a few unmarked Lindstrands around (maybe seconds I don't know)

I have seen an unmarked Lindstrand "seaweed" vase once...
But the one in the ebay link doesn't look like Kosta to me either -- reminds a little of >> this vase (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,46749)

I think you're right, Michael - the ebay one isn't Mike Hunter, far more likely a far eastern look-alike.

>> Here (http://www.ebay.de/itm/il9-Leonardo-gestreifte-Glas-Vase-drei-Farben-weis-grun-hellblau-H-16-cm-/290821922100?pt=Glas_Kristall&hash=item43b6565d34) is another one like in the previous ebay link, the seller claims it is from Leonardo (I don't know if Leonardo is only a retailer, or produces glass, too; but rather contemporary then).

Leonardo is sort of a general company name of reproduction-style stuff - glass and ceramics and little resin figurines.

Leonardo is a German wholeseller and they source their glass in China, Poland and the Baltic but usually their designs are theirs.
