No idea why I´m writing that, but the flowers somehow look french to me...  ???
I think the style reminds me bit of the spatter glass type with gold decoration you
find made by Clichy, Leveille etc.

I seem to remember having seen those slim-petal-flowers on vases like these:
Zeschwitz (http://www.von-zezschwitz.de/detail.php?onlinecatalog=1&chapter=15&objectid=18378&ref=%252Fonlinecatalog.php%253Fid%253D32%2526chapter%253D15%2526view%253Dgallery%2526language%253Denglisch&id=32&language=englisch)

Not too sure about the attributions given in the descriptions...  ;)
I could imagine there have been many glassworks using this style.

the colour reminds me of this one - attributed to Legras.  I haven't found anything in my meagre supply of books but
I'll keep looking though as the shape looks familiar.
