Ribbed opalescent vase, with applied decor of flower bud (or fruit?) and 2 leaves.
Height 12 cm, polished rim.

I would think Bohemian and possibly Kralik? (>> This one on Craig's site has a similar ribbing, but no other Kralik vases with applied floral decoration in opalescent glass there...)

Thanks,
Michael

I would suggest Harrach simply because of the leaves. Not an exact science!

By the way, your link is not working for me.

Thank you very much, John!
I will look into Harrach production...

(Don't know why the direct link to the pic on Craig's site doesn't work properly - just tested it and it didn't work, but after reloading the page it worked.
Anyway -- here is the link to the applied fruit pieces; I was referring to the ribbed vase to the right http://www.kralik-glass.com/kralikappliedfruitarray.html).

Thanks again, after doing a bit of research I think the Harrach attribution seems quite likely :)

Here are some Harrach pieces with very similar, light green (Uranium btw) zig-zag vines and leaves on opalescent ribbed glass:
>> vaseline vase on Warren Galle's site (left row, further down)
>> opalescent rose bowl on http://theantiquarian.us/Hist. Harrach and Glass.htm

I couldn't find a match for the bud / fruit, but like many other applied flowers from Harrach glassworks, it is made of opaque pink mottled glass...

The shape and cut top of my vase could make it a bit later production than other pieces with this applied decor.
And I forgot to mention in my opening post: there are some small mica flakes in the glass above the flower, a (nice) production flaw ;)
