Hi flying free does the bowl in the link below resemble the colourway of your vase (minus gold aventurine).

Monart did do a finish on the base similar to your vase (see photo below), though so far I have not seen one ground twice like your one.

Hi Gary
Unfortunately the link you gave has been removed,so I can't see that bowl.

Thanks for checking the base for me.  The Monart  posy vase I have has exactly the same base as this vase, polished completely flat  with a finely ground out pontil mark, the pontil mark also badly shaped and also having evidence of the grinding tools to one side, but it's not in the double pontil mark shape, just wonky.
I'll add some pics.

Edited to add... is this the bowl you mean?  if so, no I would say not except for the fact they are both amber and both have bubbles.  I bet that is a lot thicker glass and a lot heavier for size, because it does look very similar to another bowl I have with green squiggly lines in.  I'll dig that out if I can remember where I've put it, and do a comparison.

I've found my other bowl.
Firstly my new vase has a smattering of bubbles spread out, some a little bigger than others, very watery looking bubbles, very like my blue bubbly Monart in type, and then has lots of absolutely minute pin prick size bubbles spread all over.  But they don't look like the bowl you linked to.
The bowl you linked to is however a similar shape as another bowl I have, but my bowl is smaller and in a different decor.It's difficult to tell but  I  think the base finish on mine is different to the one you linked to but I still think they are the same maker probably.

see reply above and here is a pic of the bubbles in the vase
Also the aventurine in the vase makes the amber look darker than it really is, because there is so much of it and it's in rolled in an amber glass.  I think the bowl you've linked to is a darker colour more like my bowl.
The decor is exactly the same as this link, with the bubbles and the aventurine, except mine is only in amber glass, and has no colours in it http://www.museum.bristolblueglass.com/ysart-pin-tray-ca-1930s/

Gary do you have other ideas on the vase?
Anyone have any thoughts on what decor/colourway it would be please?
thanks :)
