This has some age to it the base is very worn and the over all feel is 50s or 60s

Nope - the design is by Skruf, but most of these now come out of Poland.  Not seen a blue graded one yet - must be quite unpleasant to serve red wine...

You're right about the Italian feel to it, although I agree with Ivo re Skruf derivation.  The hole in the vase, 'forato' in Italian, is the result of the influence of  a Henry Moore sculpture exhibition in Venice post WW II. The idea obviously spread.
