Topic: help with I.D large vase

i guess the proper term would be 'ground flat' rather than polished - ive only recently started collecting glass tho ive been collecting wristwatches and i'ding /valuing them for people for almost 16 yrs on and off - trying to i'd glass is proving 'challenging' to say the least   , as always i am grateful to anyone that provides information either regarding the pieces or the correct use of terminology when wording conversations regarding pieces.

ah, is it slightly matt, rather than shiny and see through and highly polished?
That can make a difference as well   I'd say if it has a slightly matt finish then it's possible it could be a Chinese piece perhaps?
It doesn't look as though the edges are bevelled as the base hits the rim either. 
Thanks for posting more pics.

yes the piece itself is highly polished and a beautiful blue with trapped air bubbles thruout ,the base is what i would call a beadblasted finish (tho this probably just comes from the action of grinding) and the edges are rounded  (like is has been ground only enough that it sits flat rather than the whole base ) -you cant see it in the photos but there is indication of an oval sticker on the base -but what it said is any ones guess

There is a range of easily identifiable Romanian glass of good quality, looks to be "retro" in design, by an unknown Romanian maker. The bases of these pieces are all roughly ground.
Then there is the unknown Romanian glass that gets confused with Monart, and is of a similar age, I believe. I've had a bit but I can't remember what it's base looks like. I have a sneaking suspicion it might be roughly ground. My brother has it, I'll ask him.
It's not just Chinese glass that has roughly ground bottoms. If only it were that easy! 

I hope you'll enjoy your foray into glass, Pugster. It's quite addictive.
