Hello everyone! This is my first post, but not likely my last, LOL.
I came across this trumpet vase at a local thrift store for only $2 US, there is some minor chipping on the rim of the foot but that doesn't bother me. :)
I've done a lot of googling but can't find any other vase with the same distinctive foot. No signature or other identifying marks found.
Am I correct in thinking Victorian? Any possibility of Moser or is it simply "bohemian art glass"?
It measures 14 inches tall, the top and foot are each 4.5 inches in diameter.
Please forgive the poor photos and the water droplets (from washing it) in the bottom area.
Thanks so much!
(More photos in second post in this thread.)

Hi bluumz and welcome to the board. I can't help with your ID request, but thank you for posting nice clear detailed images for us. I'm sure someone will be able to offer some help though.

Thanks for the welcome!
I did what I could with the photos, LOL. It took some effort to make them small enough to upload here. Other forums I frequent don't require photos to be quite so small! ;-)

Welcome to the board. You could have made your photos bigger; it's c 125kb per photo, not per set of four. :-) The enamelling looks typically Bohemian to me

Hi Bluumz,
Very unusual foot on the vase. Never seen anything like it. That alone should help identify it. I'm sure someone will recognise it for you

I was just staring at that - it looks as if there are 4 slots for 4 somethings to be screwed into it.
Finding screw threads in glass does happen. I have found cruets with glass screw-on tops.

There's no slots for screws, it's more a ripple effect. I'll work on getting more detailed photos.
Thanks for the replies! I, too, thought the distinctive foot would help identify it but so far, no joy.
Am I right in thinking that it's Victorian?

Unfortunately, the distinctive foot doesn't seem to be any help in identification. ???
Anyone able to confirm age as Victorian?
Thanks again!

Is the rim cut and polished?
Can you upload clearer and larger photographs of the gilding please?
If you adjust your pixels to 600 x 400 they should upload just fine.

I'd say it is late Victorian and possibly Moser or other Bohemian, or even possibly French St.Louis or similar.

It does appear that the rim was cut and polished prior to gilding. Here are a few more photos:
