I would not say there is agreement on it being Czech or Bohemian.  Of course it could be, but it could just as well be American, British, Italian, Chinese, Scandinavian, or pretty much any other country.  The design is a bit generic.  I would agree that it does not have much age.

Doesn't look Czech to me...

>> Here is another one on ebay uk, described as "Sklo Union Skrdlovice" (which it definately is neither).

Michael...it looks exactly like mine only in green   What kind of glass is Sklo Union Skrdlovice?

Pat, very short (lots of info here on the board ): Sklo Union were several glassworks in Czechoslovakia producing pressed glass, Skrdlovice was a company making hotworked glass (vaguely similar to your vase), but your vase is not Skrdlovice.
Just wanted to show the vase on ebay, and point at the misattributions there...

Sorry, can't help much further than that

Hi I think I was the last one to ask about this vase on the board, seems like this vase has been asked about at least once a year!! Japan ( due to the colour of the green one ) seemed to be the most likely source, but no formal ID so far on its origin.

Cheers, David

Hi Michael...just asking....why do you feel this vase is not Sklo Union Skrdlovice?  From looking on line at other vases under this name to my untrained eye it does look like it might be possible.  Thank you for any help.

Hi Pat,
Skrdlovice glass is very well documented (there are long threads with dozens of pieces in the Bohemian subforum), so we know that your vase isn't Skrdlovice: shape is wrong, colours are wrong.
This kind of hotworked glass wth pulled lobes was very popular and made almost anywhere in the world.

Japan, as David suggested, is quite possible...

Do not trust internet attributions without a backup

I'm more than happy to buy the decision that this is probably not Czech.  -  there are some clever people here who would probably know if it was.
However, are Michael and David basing their 'Japan' provenance solely on the colour  -  bearing in mind the fact, as we know, that pieces with pulled lobes might be from almost anywhere in the world??

Is there some indication other than colour for thinking it might be from that part of the globe?

We still need a picture of the bottom to see the finish

I am uploading a picture of the bottom of the vase...hope it helps.
