Is the vase cased in a layer of amethyst? It looks like it is, especially that purple ring around the base. Not that this helps in any way...

Or maybe a thin purple slightly iridescent coating?

I took the vase to some natural light and looked for that purple to show better. I agree that it's just the opalescence making it look that way. I can only get a purple cast to it at certain angles. It also has a flat, unpolished base with no pontil mark.

That Collector's Weekly link is very helpful and I think that's sending me in the right direction. Thank you so much for your help and kind comments for a newbie like me!

We do still like to see flat unpolished bases with no marks. They can be quite different to each other and are always informative. Often, it's the sort of "nothing there" that can be the tell.
Thank-you for showing us such an interesting and lovely piece. :)
