Topic: Help Id Cased Hourglass Vase, Modern Czech? American Studio? Italian?

[snesbit]

I picked up this vase here in the States / Mid-Atlantic.  Haven't been able to come up with anything regarding a possible maker, or even country of origin.

The piece is well done, cased top and bottom, clear over the blue and red.  Roughly 3/16" at the fire polished top rim.  The foot is roughly 1/8" wide with a ground / polished edge and fine bevel finishing the exterior and interior.  Overall, measures 12 1/4" high and 4 7/8" at the top rim.  No siggie.

I bought this with a Chribska Hospodka vase, not that that means anything.  Eastern European? US Studio Glass?  Italian?

Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.
