This vase is 10.25" high. The gold on the rim of the vase is in the glass, not something that has been applied. I found a similar vase that is only 8" high, but obviously by the same maker and the seller of that vase speculates that it might be by Skrdlovice (doubtful!) or Murano. Does anyone know or have a guess as to who may have made this vase? Thank you!
