Funky little vase, 11 cm high, with red, blue and yellow "spattered paint" decor on white background.
Rim is ground, and slightly bevelled at the outside.

The shape looks Art Deco, and technically, there is no difference to my other spatter glass pieces from that period.
It has the same moulded base, and seems to be built the same way (clear layer with the coloured decor over a very thin white opaque background layer; the whole thing cased in another clear layer).
I have >> this orange spatter vase for instance which is technically identical.

I wonder if it had a metal flower frog once, looking at the straight neck (and the wear to the rim).

>> Here is a vase (attributed to Kralik) with a very similar decor, though single coloured.

But... I am only about 80% sure, so any comment, further information (or correction) appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael

I have this, which is similar. I've never been able to decide whether it's a posy or a preserve pot.

Thanks, Christine!

Did you eventually forget to attach a pic to your post? ;) -- Maybe >> this one?
Strikingly similar decor, just not as colourful.

So no objection to the proposed age/origin?

Another update for one of my old ID-requests:

>> This vase is the first one I was able to find with an identical decor to mine; even the colours seem to be the same, though the blue looks a little different on the yellow mottled background.

At least I am convinced now that mine is an old piece as well (though the bright colours make it look so modern).
Unfortunately I wasn't able to match the shape to a company...

I think the spattered paint decor on both pieces looks a bit different to this vase though, which seems to be Kralik: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,58966.0.html

google images: "Peloton glass" might push you where you want to be.

Except they are not really peloton, which is surface decorated and Victorian. These have the stripes under casing

Thank you Ivo, Christine! :)

I guess this is a decor derived from Peloton, but with an Art Deco twist. The orange Kralik piece (in the other thread I linked to) and Christine's green vase look much more like cased Peloton than my vase and the one on etsy.
So I leave it to the experts if it is right to call it such...

I can see that the strips looks a bit painterly compared to Harrach peloton but I agree with Ivo and would call this peloton. 
I don't think peloton is specifically uncased or specifically Victorian  :-[

Here is one of Marinka's with similar colourway but very different shape

this one is also more 'painterly' so possibly cased?
