Hi all, wondering if anyone could help me identify this tall green vase. hight of vase is 44 cm, it has a flat base . and the bottom of the vase has a bulbus look to it.

I've been looking around some sites and have come across Lux glass from Austria. Can any of the members give me any information about this company?

Hi,
your vase doesn't strike me as being from Lux glass Austria. (But I wouldn't rule it out)
Pics against a plain neutral background might help :)
There is not much information I can give you on this company. They produced decorative glass in a organic Murano / Czech style, I would guess from the 1950s well into the 1980s.
Most of the designs I have seen come in clear glass with a streak of one additional colour (typically rusty-red, but also dark blue and green), I have also seen single-coloured teal or green pieces. I have never seen a multicoloured piece...
Here in Austria loads of their stuff can be found at fleamarkets and charity shops, surprisingly almost all of them labeled, don't know why.

Hello fattystratty1
LUX Glass is from Oberglas Glasswork
Look the Label with Oberglas sing
Established in 1806 in Oberdorf and 1859 in Voitsberg Steiermark
1987 merged Oberglas and Stölze
They were also in possession (ownership) of the glass works Hermanova Hut
Stölze had seven Glasworks in Austria, Czech (Böhmen) and Hungary
I am currently looking for more material from the glass stories of Austria
any Info’s are welcome

Thanks for replies, I got the idea that the peace of glass might of been Lux due to seeing this particular vase Sergio has posted on his site. I came to this purely on the shape of the vase and the triangle base in particular. Michael pointed out that the glass is usually streaked with the colour, and now looking at Sergio's vase i can see that it is a streaky blue. The vase that i have is a constant green.
