Hi Helga and welcome to the board  :)
It's difficult to tell from your photos but the base dimples remind me of an Aseda vase I had.  There is one here that is labelled.  However yours is a different shape and I'm not sure if Aseda did the colour of your vase.

I'm sure someone will be along in a while who has more knowledge and will be able to help you  :)

thank you for your reply,  I saw the one in the picture from retro bazar and the dimples seem to be the same but the shape is different, mine has more of a "waist"

mysterious!

Hi Hel (and welcome)!
No longer a mystery I´m hoping...  ;) Looks like it´s been made by Ingridglas, from their ´Lord Nelson´ range - guestimated somewhere
around the 70´s. Here´s an example on ebay: click me (http://www.ebay.de/itm/DACHBODENFUND-LORD-NELSON-VASE-SCHWER-ROT-GLAS-/150708093765?pt=Glas_Kristall&hash=item2316e70345).
Thanks to Pamela for pointing my nose here again! I read your post some time ago, when I was in a complete hurry and meant to
reply later. Well, better late than never...
Do the measurements fit with your piece? Does it have a ground and polished top rim (like I´d expect from an IngridGlas piece)?
Regards,
Dirk

If the rim is flat and fairly shiny, it is ground and polished. If it is rounded and smooth it is fire/heat polished.
