I've bought something similar a while ago. I believe these to be modern Chinese in origin. There is a pontil mark, the cheap paper label underneath says "made in italy", but I think that's wrong. I can't say your vase is exactly the same, but the colours are bright enough to come from the far east.

I think there has been one on Ebay in the last couple of weeks as well - not attributed.

I should not buy vases with a hole

I have also seen some of these around, fairly new I suspect, and a dealer at a local fair had one and told me it was new Czech.........? But it could be new Chinese too.  Actually they are quite nice and stylish, but not vintage anything.

I don't think any Czech firm would wrongly suggest their vases come from Italy, they can be proud of their own glass heritage. The carton box my vases came in were so desperately unmarked that I had to suspect China. And of course, if they're that new, look to be at least partly handmade, and still carry a price tag of EUR 5 for 2 of these, were on earth would labor be that cheap? Certainly not anywhere in Europe...?
