Hi and welcome James!  :)
Sorry I can´t help with your vase, but I didn´t want to leave you un-welcomed at least...
I have a vague feeling I might have seen something similar here, too, and possibly, as your
picture suggests also, the glass colours isn´t quite as clear as I would have expected for
a scandi piece, so it might be good to keep an open mind.
The piece I saw on a flea-market here had oviously been used as an umbrella stand, which
had left a lot of tiny chips to the top rim...  ::)

Thanks very much for your reply!

If you had to lean towards a place of origin, where would that be out of interest?

I will be putting a few more things up if you have the time to look.

Thanks

James

It depends on the precise colour (how greenish is it?) and on the bottom finish but I would be looking toward Spanish recycled.

The glass has a light green tinge to it. The bottom is moulded not flat.

If you have time would you mind looking at my other posts.

Thanks
