Hi all,
Do any of you lovely folks have any information that you could share on this vase?
It is 11 1/2" in height.

Is it even classed as stretch glass? :-\
TIA, as always.

Depends on the quality. If it is well made, rounded rim, smooth glass then it may be Leerdam from the 1930s - there have been a few experimental pieces made in this crackle technique - Lanooy, I think, and usually unsigned.
However if the surface is rough, the top is cut off and ground down you are looking at a Romanian piece circa 1980. I have one in red which really tears the skin off your fingers.
No it is not classed as stretch glass...

Hi Ivo :D
The vase is, on the whole, incredibly smooth, although there are a couple of places where it is a little rough, but in a tiny spot, not a patch, as it were :-\ The rim is ground flat, with bevelled edges.

the rim seems to be of the Romanian kind. But keep the options open, anyway.

Thank you, Ivo. :-*
