Is this globe vase (carboy)a Steuben?, only throwing out a line because of the polished indented pontil
and when I bought it there was another American piece (milk glass) on the same stand.
Quite heavy, 6.5" high x 6.5"dia. the purple trailing spirals from heavy overlay at the bottom to become

No. It's most likely Polish and definitely fairly new. Appears at every flea market and all over ebay as Whitefriars, which it's not.
(If you don't know who made an item, it should always be posted in glass, unless it's a paperweight.)
