I'd say most likely Mandruzzato, and from the blended colours, probably quite modern.  Looks like this (http://www.mandruzzato.ve.it/ProdPerFoto_Eng.asp?IDFoto=6&Cat=50) design in this (http://www.mandruzzato.ve.it/vedicol.asp?checol=rublu.jpg) colour range.

Hi Murray and welcome  :sun:
I love your vase, I can't add anything to Wayne's post but I did have one made by Oball although one colour only but faceted in  a similar way.  Could Oball be a possible also perhaps?

Mandruzzato also did some vases that have the two colors coming together, so both Mandruzzato and Oball are good possibilities. I didn't know Oball made any faceted things, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. The sharp corners of the diamonds is characteristic of Mandruzzato. Some other companies have diamonds that are ground at the end, so the corners are squared off. I don't know what Oball's looked like, so can't help there.
