Hi , I passed this vase many times at a carboot stall , I picked it up each time as I thought it interesting but the damage always made me put it down again . This time I purchased another item and the vendor let me have it for free

I thought it was possibly Fenton but the signature matches no other in Fenton artist lists .

White under glass with blue overlay in a spiderweb or diamond design.
Not sure if pressed glass or not ?

Signed inside neck Má? may not even be a acute  (á) .
I guess 1930s pressed glass ?
Any help would be much appreciated measure 8 1/2" high

Cheers , Dave .

It's not pressed; there is no way to get the plunger out. It's mould blown. The rule is generally if the body is wider than the neck, it's mould blown. It might be Italian

Thanks for the good input , Dave

American i think, the pattern seems like the same one that keeps cropping up on here, they generally take the form of rose bowls though.

I didn't realize this type of glass was made in Italy as well. I've also come by attributions to Webb glass. Anyway, i did find something similar attributed to the Phoenix Glass Company so maybe worth a google... 

It is often described as a 'Diamond Quilted' or 'Diamond Quilt' Pattern. I noticed that the pattern is slightly raised so may not be the correct description for it.

Archimede Seguso did a pattern called grill-work which is similar looking but I have not seen it in this color or shape.   Diamond quilted and quilted diamond both yeild some results that give similar items but you need to look carefully, a lot of these are satin glass and the pattern is not raised.

Could it read ?  MacMil or MacMillan ??

Thanks for all of the help and ideas , I have searched much more and have found similar designs but not raised as this one is .
 
These are close but again not raised design as with mine  , they have no other info other than the fact that they are satin glass vases

The punctuation mark over the "a" like a French A acute could be czech  ?

I shall keep working on the input you have all given and many thanks again , Dave.

Not Fenton.

Hi again,

If you google "cut velvet stick vase" and then maybe play around with different searches adding quilted diamond and such you should be able to find examples of vases that are closer to what you have.  I found one in a book I have on American Art Glass.  If you click on the link I've provided, about an 1/8 of the way down the page there is a vase very similar to yours but the picture is incomplete.  They attribute the vase to Mount Washington glass but this is a name people like to throw around.  It may or may not be Mount Washington.
