Topic: ID help for a lava style vase

[Rubydo]

Hi I'm a newbie  can anyone help me ID this vase
It has no marks it is a turquoise blue glass, heavy and 12" x 10"

Hiya and welcome,
to me this looks like a pottery vase rather than glass...
Could you give us a base shot of the piece, please, and possibly one of the top rim?

Thank you for your reply.
Here is a picture of the rim

And the base.
It looks like glass.

It does indeed look like glass - now!
But it is doing quite an effective job of looking like some rather wonderful German ceramics. 
welcome.

Yeah I bought it from a charity shop, when I first saw it I thought it was pottery lava vase.
But then I realised it was heavy glass. I've not been to find anything like it on the net .
It's a nice piece very organic looking but I have no idea of origin .

Wow. It´s a very interesting piece. Having said that I must admit I´ve never seen anything alike
I´m afraid...

Pics don't really do it justice. But I'm interested in different glass techniques. I do a bit of glass slumping and fusing myself . But there is small practicals of sand in the surface so I was wondering if it was sand cast or maybe it had something thrown on it to create the effect . I don't know how they make the German lava vases but it looks like a similar technique but with glass . Just always bugged me that I can find no info .
