Gibraltar Crystal Glass Company?

Yes, NevB is correct.

Hello
I think the vase is pretty young. the Gibraltar Crystal existed until last year, they closed down in August 2019. And they produced this kind of vases until 2019.

i did find out that the gibraltar glass company was formed in 1995 so it is quite a modern piece
