Hi, I was hoping someone will be able to help we with this one.
Its looks well made in an iridescent yellowy gold with white enamel pulled lines marvered into the surface. Its nearly 7" tall, weighs 1kg with nicely polished pontil.
TIA Wolfie

Looks very similar to "Poschinger" to me but would really need to see pictures of bottom and perhaps close-ups of rim.

Hi, thanks for your reply. here are 2 pics as requested.
Apart from polished pontil the base has been slightly flat polished which has removed the iridescence in those parts and is clear amber glass. You can see this where the white enamel comes round the outside of the vase, disappears for about 1" then reappears and curls into the pontil. Also there is part of a distributors label reading (something) BottcherstraBe which I have since found out is a street in the historic centre of Bremen, Germany, famous for its architecture.
I have also found this link and these look very much like them.

Thanks for the additional photos.
Have not been able to connect label to glass, perhaps the label is not a manufacturer label but that of a gallery/shop in BottcherstraBe...
With that said I still believe this to be "Poschinger" though I can not be 100% sure. Hopefully someone on the board will be able to positively Identify this for you.

Hi Tony, I would agree that this label is defo not a makers more like a shop.
