Again, just adding a vase that appears to use a similar technique around the neckline and is also a floral cameo - unfortunately it's hard to tell from the photo if the technique is the same.  The range is pretty well documented though, they appear to be larger in style and none have the same flower. Still,just in case :

Scottish Antiques has three miniature cameo vases here, one by Galle - the orange one.

But what is interesting is what they say in the description (see my bold):

'Heading : Three miniature cameo glass vases
Date : Early 20th century
Origin : The orange example is Galle
Colour : Polychrome
Pontil : Polished
Glass Type : Mixed
Size : Tallest 8.5cm
Condition : Excellent, no chips or cracks
Restoration : None
Weight :  238 grams

The example with monochrome orange leaves is Galle. The smallest example with painted landscape is signed Swan. The second cameo glass example has been signed EH, this may be an apprentice piece. It is very unusual for cameo glass miniatures to be signed by a major manufactory. The Musee des Beux Arts in Nancy has a large collection of miniatures, very few bear Galle or Daum cameo signatures.'

My vase has a polished pontil mark and is 9cm tall.

On another thread I've been asking about the name Jules Mabut and wondering if the vases seen on the net with that marked on the base were made by Montjoye.
I've come across quite a few examples that seem to be the same green as my vase,but have green as the base colour rather than, as mine is, green over clear.  They are mostly marked Montjoye. The type of background effect on the base glass is the same as that on my little vase.
Here is one example:

This is another example of Legras cameo two colour that also has a very similar background:
https://www.catawiki.com/l/39487385?utm_campaign=ArtNouveau&ArtDeco-COM=&utm_content=Lotart&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=coop

The only thing is, the way the cameo is cut on all those examples is very different.  The leaves and petals on mine are more intricately/delicately cut with raised edges on the cameo etc, rather than it just being a 'flat' layer cut around design.

I do think my vase is French. It has a very large polished pontil mark that reaches almost to the edges of the base of the vase.

Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received.

Just happened upon this and adding for future reference and research:

Loetz by Adolf Beckert DEK 226
1909-1910
It's dark blue over a pink ground - the ground is similar to my vase

Some similarities with this one, however mine has a large polished pontil mark on the base and can't see if that one does, but also I think the cutting is different on mine as there appears to be more depth with edges showing and veins on the petals etc.

There is also this one, however again this one is signed on the base:

I think there are definite similarities with both.

Maybe Degué (David Gueron) is a possibility for this? I think aspects of the design on yours can be seen in the examples in my link...but not all on the same item.

Thanks so much Ekimp for keeping an eye out.  I'll have  good look through everything I can find on Guerron later on.  Much appreciated.
