Hi.  Hope someone can help.  I bought this vase at a local auction in the North West of England with a collection of others which included a Frantisek Vizner vase for Libochovice - pattern No. 3236 and despite much searching I cannot find anything about this vase.

It's quite large measuring 23.5 cm tall x approx 20 cm in diameter at  the base and weighs just over 1450 gms.  Decorated completely from the base to the rim with raised oval 'dimples' in a honeycomb pattern.  These 'dimples' are all the same size (2.5 cm x 2.2 cm - H x W).

The colour is unusual - in natural light it looks grey but under a strong light there is a slight lilac shade to it.

The rim is ground but not polished and the base is almost textured.

If anyone has any ideas / pointers it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
