I've reached a dead end on this one.  I feel sure it is Bohemian (always open to correction though).  It is 10" tall or just over, well made, the rim is cut and bevelled.  Mould blown and very neat mould base, those concentric circles again.  Cased clear over marbled over white interior.  Of note is that I would not consider it lightweight at all, it is substantial glass,  yet it feels to weigh less than my 7"/8" Loetz Carneol marbled vase of similar shape.  By comparison the Carneol vase feels as though someone has filled it with a paperweight.  Much heavier again glass.
Does anyone recognise the shape please?  Unfortunately I've failed to save a pic of the base but will add one later.
thanks for looking  :)

thanks Keith.  I've had a good search looking for the shape really.  It's not iridescent and feels I guess, to date design wise, from around 1885 ish a similar time to the Carneol piece.  I thought it might be Harrach perhaps but I can't match the shape at all.
I need to get better pictures loaded but the swirl design is a nightmare to photograph.  I've also 'lost' the base and rim pics somewhere on my new computer and can't find where they've gone so I can upload them...I wish I was more technically minded lol.

one more which is a picture of the true colours in the base that can't be seen on the pic above.

Had a good look through Truitts and apart from the similar Loetz pieces,like the one you posted,the only other is a piece on page 63,bottom right,different shape and not so elegant,maybe Craig will pop in,unless he's out on his Harley! ;D ;D

Great minds  ;D I thought so too re page 63.  It's the closest I can find to this in terms of decor.
OK,I'll keep looking for the shape and keep an eye out to try and find another in this decor.
Thanks for looking

I'm wondering if anyone has seen any Ceonix glass pieces by Richardson?

Snap: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingofbananas/4035218375/ - I never did manage to identify mine, though it is obviously a good quality piece...
