This small vase is unique in its colour, also the faceted sides and the trails. It weights 1014g, but only stands at about 5" tall. I put is as Murano glass, but not sure if it is. Not sure who could be the maker of this vase. Thanks Peter

My guess is it could be a perfume bottle minus its "dibber" for want of a better word ;). I've got a couple of perfume bottles with the same type of top and with elongated dibbers, although not as tall as yours. Sorry can't help with the attribution though.

I seem to remember seeing a lot of these around a few years ago with cut lenses on them.
I thought they might have been labelled Cello Glass. There might be some threads on here on Cello glass.
I found this item as an example although not the same:

well done, m.
I know I've seen these in gift shops, and they're fairly recent, despite the wear on the base this one has gained. I can't be positive, but I don't think they're Chinese.
But given the polishing on the sides, maybe they did polish the bases of the perfume bottles?
-
wasn't it found that Cello glass was from India?
-
I don't know. ;D
I'm not willing to say Poland; you could well be right about India.
(me trying to remember stuff is like trying to catch a fart in a collander)

This is a Chinese perfume bottle missing the stopper. Marketed in the USA under the Fifth Avenue label

Hi There,
Could you provide a link to the Chinese perfume bottle in US?
Do you suggest now people are making 1Kg perfume bottles for men?
It is quite heavy.
Kind regards,
Peter

After Christine said that I put Fifth Avenue Glass perfume into a google search and came up with lots of examples:

oh this one is actually labelled as well:

Thanks for that. I also find one:

A few differences here: The cuts are well too bigger and deeper than mine. The trails has no colour on mine, but they are all coloured on the perfume bottles you suggested.
So I think we are comparing apples with oranges.
Thanks for the efforts.

There are lots of variation of these Fifth Avenue bottles. They are merely decorative lumps and not intended for use. Yours is Fifth Avenue
-
;D Quality control is not something most Chinese glass is known for, not until you get to the top makers such as Luili Fan Gong.
I wouldn't expect two bottles to be exactly the same. :)

Thank you for everyone, and I agreed that mine is the Chinese glass perfume bottle.
