the piece was cleverly constructed....when i first studied the vase i thought i saw seams which i then dismissed as cut marks because they did not extend the entire length of the vase....however, after i pulled my head out of crevice i realised that the bowl (vase) was attached to a base which may have been blown or created without press molds.....so the furtive seams indeed finally gave away the 3 part mold....
however i doubt that this is eapg.....my understanding is the eapg is either unleaded or at best flint glass.....this vase is leaded....so i think it is of recent manufacture.....however, it is very well done and very attractive....
some parts may be cut as there is a crsipness not associated with pressed glass but i am thinking that is because leaded glass was used as opposed to potash based glass....
so mystery is solved enough that i don't have to worry about having a valuable piece of glass.
