I'm still struggling to identify this piece, if anyone has any other suggestions?

Generic design, chunky/large and heavy with low production standards - I would be looking at China first.

Sorry, I don't believe for a second that this is chinese with the polished pontil, uranium salts used in the glass etc. There's nothing cheap about this piece. I'm convinced it's Italian, but thanks for your imput.

Chinese glass does have properly polished pontil marks these days, and your vase has no uranium in it. China is the most likely origin. It's really not well made enough to be any high end name.

Most definitely no uranium in the glass
