An update thanks to the information given to me by Anne.
I contacted www.eisch.de and asked them for some further information and in true German efficient fashion they supplied the following information:
"this vase was made in 1979 in the Glashütte Eisch. It is a piece of a unique -collection named “Poesie in Glass” which was very popular during the 80ies and 90ies. The line was made after the design of Erwin Eisch by a special group of experienced glassblowers who worked close together with Erwin Eisch. The pieces of Erwin Eisch which he made personally are especially signed. Attached please find a file with further informations.
Hope this helps

They also gave me the folling information:
Poesie in Glas
Masterpieces
Conceived by Erwin Eisch
The series „Poesie in Glas“ presents individual pieces for glass fans and collectors. These glasses, originally conceived by Erwin Eisch, are blown by experts who have been familiar with Erwin Eisch’s ideas for years. Each single object is dated and provided with the signiture –Eisch-
Pieces from the series „Poesie in Glas“ have won Erwin Eisch a gold medal (prize of the Bavarian Government) on the occasion of the 1978 International Crafts Fair in Munich.
Glass of increasing value.
The Art Nouveau Epoch was the last to achieve perfection in the field of glass. Tiffany, Gallé, Loetz and other srtists created art glass of permanent value. It was only about fifty years later that a new art glass movement arose. Among a characteristic representatives are Harvey Littleton, Dominick Labino, Erwin Eisch and many other glass artists, whose work is well represented in leading museums and notable public collections. Our series „Poesie in Glas“ has been conceived as another manifestation of the contemporary art glass movement. Rejecting mere copying of former styles, we endeavour to create objects whose shape gives expression to the spirit of our epoch.
„Poesie in Glas“ in intendeded to carry on and further evolve the three-thousand-year old tradition of glass.

The only thing I am still not sure of is if this is a piece crafted by Erwin Eisch in person.
I hope this information will help others in their glass collecting in the Future.
Best wishes,
