Anyone know who made this vase? Thanks.

has a sort of angular and simple art deco appearance - I like it, but as for maker, sorry, not a clue. I'd suggest opalescent rather than opaline, but stand to be corrected on that. May we please see a picture of the underside if possible, and is there any wear, and is there a 'sunset glow' when held to a strong light? It won't help remotely with attribution etc., but folks here are usually keen to know the dimension/height. :)

for some reason in the back of my mind it reminds me of some Loetz vases.
I'll have a look on the net and see if I can find anything to describe what I mean.
Something like this perhaps:

Kralik also used an opalescent:

Similar style piece here on the old Loetz site too: http://loetz-bohemianglass.com/decorsadunidentified.htm
I have a bowl in this decor but it’s packed away back in England for the moment, so no chance to photograph it.
I wonder if the vase in the first post has had some reduction to the handles. Other pieces I’ve seen in this style have a different profile here with the tops of the wing handles protruding above the rim. Of course it could also be a variant or from a different maker.
