Can anyone help me in identifying this glass vase. I assumed it to be Czech but after trawling thro all possible sources I have drawn a blank. It measures 26.2cms in height .Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I can't find a reference right now, but I know I should know this one. I am sure it is Polish.
Hortensja? :)

There's one on 1st Dibs attributed to Stolle-Nieman. I never trust sellers attributions on there, but it does seem at least plausible in terms of where I'd expect it to come from, so may be a potential avenue for you.

Always thought these were from Empoli.

Without a label, Empoli could certainly be a top contender.
Some confirmation is required before we conclude anything, I reckon.
I just have a very strong memory of being surprised when I saw a pale, slightly green kingfishery blue vase exactly like this and learned it was Polish. It was a long time ago, and I can't remember what it was that identified it, it might well have been a Made in Poland label that surprised me.
I was trying to find out about Polish glass at the time. Very little was known.
But seeing one in that orangey red and in neodynium glass is knocking big holes in my Polish confidence. ;D

Just for reference, here's a link to a labelled Italian example, which mentions Tuscany, Italy....

Looks like my Blue Glass Vase was made by Empoli. Thanks to all those who took the trouble to pass on their knowledge. Much appreciated.
