Colourful outside with white coloured inside, polished pontil mark with wear around the base edges.

Thanks

No one else has written anything, so I thought I would say a little. I haven't seen your vase before, but it looks Italian, either Murano or Florence. Other countries make Italian-style vases. Yours looks well done, so I think there is a good chance it is Italian.

I'd place it in France. I've seen this vase quite often on markets there, but mostly with a cut and polished rim, not a scallop edge. No idea if it was made there, or imported. Dealers seem to think it is Clichy - but they are prone to exaggeration.

Could even be Stourbridge;  or Bohemian....  Does the white interior fluoresce unde UV?

The pleats on the bottom do look very Stourbridge, don't they? The rim looks Italian, but then a lot of Stourbridge glass looks Italian.

Franko Toffolo is a possibility, I have three of his vases and all have the same white interior.
