Yes, thanks to Sue and John.  Appears to be Mimosa glass by Hortensja Poland.

Looking for more information, I came across this article about Pandora glass from Knizek.

https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/185012-knizek-pandora-glass-by-maximilian-bou

It states that pieces were made using a colourless glass base. 

The mimosa pieces I've seen so far, all have coloured glass bases.  Did they also use a colourless glass base?  Is there a way to distinguish between mimosa and pandora pieces?

Even more confusing..... that last article attributes mimosa pieces to Tadeusz Wrzesniak Glassworks.

Labelled example below is Sue's image.

glassobsessed:
If you look at the knop on your candlestick photo you can just see that the base glass is clear. The clear glass thing does break down with the blue stuff...

The Knizek Pandora items are very much in the nouveau style, more artisan. I suspect that the vase on the far right does not belong in that group, the cut rim and simpler shape and to some extent the more 'granular' finish look more like our Hortensja items.

chopin-liszt:
 :) I agree.
The older items, the ones the Mimosa are a tribute to, are more thickly blown and a bit more "organic" looking than the Mimosa, which is slightly more refined, detailed and delicate.
I'm sure there is a long thread about this somewhere, well illustrated, but I cannot find it. ::)
