Have some smaller vases like this,someone suggested Moser and then someone said not,8.5 ins' broken pontil and gilding worn from handle,Keith.

Most likely Bohemian but definitely not Moser; the quality just is not there for these vases

Thanks Christine,after spending a fair amount of time researching Moser I have to agree but can't resist buying them whenever I see one,Keith.

No idea of specifc maker, but to keep the vase company, I have a pair very likely from the same source although different shape body. See here. (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pid=12179&fullsize=1)
My pair are matched in that the enamelled and (worn) main gilded decoration is on one side only with the handles set so that they are "left & right". But note that one vase (25 cm / 9 7/8 inch) is slightly taller than the other (23,5 cm / 9 1/4 inch). Probably indicates that lots were made in readiness for pairing up at the decorators' benches. Mine were bought in an English antiques fair and although I have since seen several others of the type, I have not seen a pair like mine. But I think there must be loads of them around somewhere.

Very similar,you can see the gilding on the handles of yours and the decor' on the body matches,have a small pair of vases and a couple of odd ones around somewhere,nice to see other pieces,ta,Keith.
