I have this vase to sell for my charity - www.furnitureplus.org.uk/ - and would like to be sure of my description of it.

It stands approx. 10.5 in/26.5 cm tall.   The glass is approx. .75 cm thick at the rim.   It looks as if the mottled pattern is cased inside clear glass.   There are 2 applied beadings up each side of the vase ending in a blob at the base.   The base swells out to give a good firm balance, and the underside is slightly concave, but not ground, but slightly polished.    There are wear scratches on the outer rim of the base.

Any help would be very welcome.

Bohemian/Czech I would say, but date could be as late as the 1950s
