Hi there, any help with this would be gratefully received the signature is driving me mad, is it a red herring? Thick glass, filled with bubbles, polished pontil, lots of age related base wear. It isn't painted, the pattern is actually in the glass!
About 6 inches tall x 8 inches wide.
Thanks for any help

I'm green with absolute envy!
your vase is a Johnolyth vase - stunning and beautiful.
This one was sold in 2005 at Christies

You don't come across them very often.
I believe designed by Karl John for Hantich & co Haida
