well, I'll start the ball rolling for you Keith  -  although Jindrich or Pamela are obviously the experts you need.   Oddly, the overall colouring is very untypical of pieces shown in Ruth Forsythe's book - in fact there is quite literally only one piece shown in her book with this darker background.   However, as you already suspect, the style of surface decoration is very similar to a lot of Czech glass that was produced during the inter-war period  -  and I expect your assumption is possibly correct, with the piece having been made somewhere between 1920 and 1940, or perhaps a little later.
Reference:   "Made in Czechoslovakia" - Ruth A. Forsythe - 1982 (Printed Ohio)

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
