Mindful of my two pink ewers, see here (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,5095.0.html), I found this similar vase recently, complete with its export label, which might help attribute all three.
As with the ewers, the stem is 8-rib and made from an identical opalescent glass, here termed opaline on the label. Identical construction and similar thickness of glass. Height 10½" (26.5cm). Same glassmaker, perhaps, or same training / apprenticeship?
The foil and paper label is a map of the old world, including Antarctica, missing the Americas and New Zealand, over a ribbon, and is fully legible except for the central initials in a fancy script, and reads:-
HAND / OPALINE / LG (LE, LC ???) / MARCHIO DEPOSITATO / MADE IN ITALY
As this is a registered trade mark, this mark or label should be well known, but I can't find it anywhere.
I am posting this on the general glass board as Ivo suggested that the ewers might not be Murano.

Two threads to read up Bernard, which may be of some help:

There appears to be some similarity in the base of my Veritable Opaline vase, with your pink ewers - do they also exhibit the amber tinge when backlit?
