The foot is surface decorated, (with coloured frits) then cased in a thin layer of clear over that.
Often, the applied feet are quite dull and you can feel the slightly rough texture of the bits of frit.

Ok, i held it against the light but I couldn't see any layers, but once again, I don't know anything about this type of glass, it's actually the only one that I have, besides a Vasart Thistle vase, but that's it. I don't come across it over here at all.

The shape is NJ, this shape was produced by Monart in the pre war period (1924 to 1939) and the post war period (1947 to 1961). As for the colour scheme, this was used in both pre and post war periods.
The acid etched signatures are rareish thing on Monart, see link below.

Hi Sue. Yes, where are they when you need them?!!

Very unusual with those marks - the only info I can find is :
http://www.ysartglass.com/BaseLabel/Labels.htm

Shows the same "made in Scotland" mark.

Lovely piece in stunning colours - not sure of the colour code but I'm sure Gary will be able to tell you when he takes a look. I would agree with shape NJ.

oops - just crossed posts with the man himself!  ;D

A bit more info on your Monart vase. The colour code is 480.
When the Monart catalogue was first produced (circa 1924) only two sizes were made for the NJ vase (V11and V1), other sizes were introduced at later dates, though it appears never added to the Monart catalogues.

My brother has confirmed the everted rim might even merit the "R word".

I call it the "R word", because it's one that is terribly overused. Rare.  ;D

Yeah,  I know what you mean Sue but it's nice to read that this vase is little out of the ordinary. Thank you for asking your brother!  :-*
