Hi Danielle
Sklo Union glass is pressed glass and I don't think your vase is a pressed glass piece.  However it could be Czech glass.  I don't recognise it but someone may be along shortly who will be able to help more  :sun:

Is that something written on the base?

I think it says ´Erco 25 Jahre´. A friend of mine researched it. Obviously a company named
Erco ordered them as give-aways for their 25th anniversary. I´ve only seen this inscription
on red examples BTW...  :)

edit: Had a look at their history - founded in 1934, so your vase should date from 1959.

Not sure what you mean by this. It's German blown glass and definitely not Sklo Union, Czech and pressed.
