Looking at the vase it resemble's a hermanova glassworks colourless vase by frantisek vizner im sure if you google his name you will find similar pieces and may be able to track down the exact design.

Of course glasskillian is right. Your vase was designed by Frantisek Vizner c.1965 and produced by Hermanova glassworks. The catalogue number is 20082.  Nice find!

You can see this, and other examples of Vizner's pressed designs, at the bottom of Jindrich's article  here. (http://www.cs-sklo.cz/ceskoslovenskesklo/25-STARE-CLANKY-OLD-ARTICLES/978-Lisovane-sklo-F-Viznera)  :)
