Topic: Who made this Vase ?

[Smitty]

I acquired this glass vase recently described to me as Bohemian. It measures 17.5cms in height and 18cms in width. |It has a satin finish over a pink and white lining. It is decorated with an unusual abstract swirl as seen in the images. With my limited knowledge on glass making techniques, I cannot be sure if its applied or inserted into the main body of glass.  I have made the usual searches and come up with nothing. Has anyone seen anything like it or any ideas. Thank you for your interest.

Can we have larger pictures please, as they don't enlarge enough to see detail. You have 125kb per picture. Bohemian is probably a term better reserved for pre World War I glass, which this is not. It might be Czech; it might be studio glass

Thanks for your comments. My ability to load suitable images is a bit hit and miss.
Lets see if these are any better.

Looks like there is a signature, not on the base but around the edge.

Double checked John but could not see anything. Lots of scratches but no signature. Thanks for your interest.

 John I can see what you mean.  I also see what might be a signature.  It's along the side of the vase not on the base and seems to be on the side right above the part where the base has lots of wear.

Glad I am not the only one!

There is something that looks like a string of capital letters there.

It might show up better if some talcum powder were rubbed over it. Or cornflour, cinnamon or cocoa powder.
Any fine powder which will get caught in a groove, be a contrasting colour, and wash off easily.
It definitely looks like a studio piece to me.

It reminded me of something coming from Romania, with the frosted body with an abstract design. I couldn’t find any where they have used murrines though, the abstract designs I was thinking are flat (acid stained?).  There is a vase from Romblast that has vaguely similar design elements…but probably a bit too tenuous. Here is the Romblast vase anyway: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/romblast-romania-mid-century-abstract-cobalt-glass-vase/

You may have hit the right trail, m.   
I've googled, and seen several Romblast works with this satinated finish, and some in the same lilac shade, there are loads of pieces with added metallic strapping - but Romblast has been around for some time.
I bought an enormous vase in TKMaxx about 24 years ago, which shows yet another style.
There's a not terribly good pic of my vase here. It's got Beranek tropical flowers in it.
