Uranium opaline gilded jewelled enamelled late 19th century vase

  The grey I found is a pale brown called 'Grau' I think.  But it's not this light grey opaline.  There is also a 'taubgrau' but that's a paler brown/lilac opaline.
There is one vase in a 'beinglas', (that might be uranium opaline) in a pale green though.  c.1877-1878 page 245 in From Neuwelt to the Whole World.

Nothing with this design of enamelling in these colours in the book.  And no shape match.

I think I've found the glass and colour match.  In Das Bohmische Glas Band III page 101 there is a set of three vases in what I think is the same pale blue/grey opaline. They are documented as Harrach c.1870 and referred to as 'Beinglas'.

On page 113 there is a lidded cup with repetitive geometric enamelling which has a similar vibe (but isn't the same) to my vase. It's by Meyr's Neffe, Adolf bei Winterberg and is described as 1884 Turkische Serie. 
So it could be that my vase is a bit later than I think.

Russian enamelled glass items here - tea caddy for shape inspiration:

Quote from me earlier:
'However despite extensive searching in the collections I've not found a comparison piece.   The jewelled items I've found have red and green beads rather than blue.'
This one has the blue and red beads (as well as green) - Enamelled and beaded and gilded decanter Russian glass, part of a large set in the museum:

See page 61 in the Moser book. Reminder to self - just wondering if it might have been by Moser?

and a corrected link to the tea caddy I was referencing for shape:

And bizarrely, now I copy and paste a pic of that tea caddy at Christie's and put it next to a pic of my 'vase', I feel my 'vase' might have had a lid like the tea caddy shown.  Hmmm.  The neck is indented on mine though and different to the silver version so perhaps that would indicate it was made as a vase in the shape of the Russian tea caddy?

Two more silver enamelled tea caddies, similar in shape but with a  flatter lid not domed:
