I acquired this very pretty vase from a boot sale recently and would like to identify the maker and name of the collection if it belonged to any. It is approximately 28 or 29cm high, about 11cm deep and 20cm wide at the widest point, while the base is about 11 or 12cm. It is blue transparent glass with an inner white casing. Thank you in advance for any information.

Lovely vase, it looks similar in style to Scandinavian cased glass.
That being said it doesn't quite look the right shape. The thickness of the glass and casing appears to be a wrong ratio to each other.
This isn't my area so could be wrong  ;D ;D
A picture of the base might help the experts though!

I'm not entirely sure but I had a similar version bought about 8 years ago and it was determined it was Chinese.
What is the base of your vase like please?
thanks

Thank you for your answers. I didn't pay much for it as I got it from a boot sale so if it turns out to have been made in China 🙂, the disappointment won't be much either... I attached a pic of the base.

yes I believe it's like mine was - and yes I think made in China.

Oh well 😂 for the grand total of 50p, you can hardly expect to get a Scandinavian art glass vase. It's still very pretty though and will be shamelessly displayed on my mantelpiece. Thank you all for your help.

PS: Just out of curiosity, could you give me the link to yours with image(s), assuming you asked for it to be identified here?
