Hello, that type of decor reminds me of a small Harrach vase I have.  ;D

Thanks You for your input.  Can you post a picture of your vase or point me in a direction to confirm my vase is Harrach?

I've had the vase for some time and saw a post on FB from 'Collectors Weekly' ( Bohemian glass collectors ) if I remember right showing a Harrach 'Blumefloret' vase very much like mine and the people on that forum thought the same, excuse the picture quality, ::)

Thank You for your interest and information.  I'm going to list the vase on eBay as a Harrach with a question mark and let the other collectors vote with their bids.  It is a cute vase but I only have so much room.

Fenton Art Glass, Williamstown, West Virginia USA, early 1940s. Look closely at the shape of the opalescent areas... they're "hearts." We made "Heart Optic" perfume bottles as special orders for several customers in the 1940s. In the 1990s and early 2000s, we made Heart Optic in Cranberry Opalescent for the Fenton line, typically Valentine's Day. Search for Fenton Heart Optic on eBay, and you'll see examples, I'm sure.
