Hiya and welcome to the board. It is not quite certain what it is you have there.  Is the surface course or is it smooth? How is the bottom finished? Seeing the neck it seems the bottle is machine made, and quite large. That could point at Spanish recycled glass - possibly La Mediterranea http://www.lamediterranea.com/english/quienes-somos.aspx.  More photographs will usually lead to more information.

the bottom has smooth finish the vase is quite a large one when other people have seen the pics the names of vasart and monart keep arising and i have done some exploring into these two names and seem to have hit a brick wall as there are pages saying a lot of their stuff was unmarked completly as the companies that the products were going to wanted them left unmarked or unsigned as they wanted to put their own markings on sais items hence a lot of things they produced became very hard to identify.do you have any ideas how i can look further into the ones without markings

I think you can be pretty certain it's neither Monart nor Vasart. A picture of the base, the rim and a close-up of the surface might be helpful

Reminds me of a very large torpedo-shaped glass vase/bottle I bought last year which turned out to be retailed by the Cargo shopping chain. I strongly suspect your vase is from a similar source. As Ivo says, maybe made in Spain or similar.
 I've never seen that shape in the Vasart and Monart catalogues so I think you can rule those out.

And I hate to sound tetchy, but we really do need a clear base shot, and a close up would also be appreciated.
