Thanks,

Hi stephenpounder, welcome to the Board :rah: ...Nice piece of glass, it has some Funk to it. I would not know what to call those either bubbles, or waves, or ???
Do you have a base shot? Thxs

I haven't received the piece yet. I'll add a photo of the base once it arrives.
-
Do you have the picture owner's permission to use that photo? If not you are breaching their copyright and it will have to be removed.

I've just started collecting glassware and have recently bought this vase and was wondering if anyone knows the manufacturer.
It stands 18cm high and is 5cm wide.

As you've already posted about this item I've merged both topics together to keep all the information in the same place. Please keep replies within the same topic or we lose track of what's been said.

hello stephen - assume you bought the piece because you like it, which is how it should be :) - Off the cuff I haven't a clue from whence this comes, and posting on the GMB, as you may be aware, incurs both adulation and criticism - so be prepared :) In terms of objective critiscism, I am worried that the base wear appears (at least in your picture) to be showing as incomplete around the base. This may indicate an inexpensive and perhaps far eastern origin or possibly, with the indented base maybe eastern european. That base rim seems also not to have been polished, and shows a rough ground surface. The main outer surface of the vase we might call 'textured' (I appreciate it is not a woven textile image) but this is an abstract uneven surface, so think we might get away with that description here - but I stand to be corrected. :). As a guide to your being successful with a maker/origin (at least with the GMB) it does really depend on someone finding your design/pattern in a book somewhere, or remembering having seen the piece in Ikea/Marks & Spencer/T K Max/Harrods - and if that doesn't happen, you may have a problem, so fingers crossed. :)
