Edit : Okay now I feel guilty and helped the seller by sending the article.

Post by: NevB on May 04, 2020, 09:25:47 AM: I thought it might be interesting to go back to this post to show the vase I bought for £2 a while ago. Not knowing better I presumed it was Czech from the 1930's but having seen the pictures in the glassmuseum link on this post I can now see it's Chinese. It matches the FV-190 23cm. vase shown. What brought me to this post is I've seen similar ones for sale online described as being Victorian, by Stevens and Williams which seemed unlikely. What also alerted me was the total lack of age wear on the foot of mine, indicating it was more modern but having said that, it is possibly from the 1970's and is very well made.
