Hi,
Request for indentification of this vase.
About 26 cm high
Thank you in advance,
Edward

I think this might be ceramic and not glass.

Sorry, but It's 100% sure glass

I can see why Sue thought ceramic......that was my first thought too.  I tried to enlarge the base picture but it got a bit fuzzy, but it did make me think I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. 

Please post a picture of the vase up against the light, and one showing the inside.

It's an attractive piece.....look forward to finding out more about it.

Is it cold painted?
It is very hard to tell when the pics don't blow up much.

There is help for posting images, here.

I thought it looked cased.....particularly in the second pic.....the middle of the proudest part of the foot rim.  It didn't look like surface decoration, but it is hard to tell from the pics.

I thought if it was glass, that it might be very new work and cold painted on the surface - it's not terribly shiney and the colour doesn't look as if it goes deeply inside the vessel.
Like the cold-painted stuff by Hebron in Israel.

Thanks in advance for your help.
This is certainly not a recent vase.
I am adding some extra photos, maybe they give a better picture.
Sincerely,
Edward

  That's glass. And it looks nothing like the first two pics! 

Dear Edward, 
It is easy to see what something looks like when you have it in front of you, you can see what the photograph is supposed to show.
All we have is the image and when we don't have the real thing to guide our interpretation of the image we can make a lot of mistakes.
The yellow base, with the dark surround looked decidedly ceramic. And there are ceramics that look like this vase.

Glass is difficult to photograph well.

Hello Sue,

You are right, I could immediately have taken a photo with the light through.
