I would say look to Bohemia rather than Venetian. The handles have a Venetian look but the vase body is all wrong.

I would probably go with the Bohemia option as well. What's the top like? Flat ground?

Bohemian/Czech, circa 1920s is my guess.

Well, there is a hint of the late 19th C. in the shape actually, but the colour scheme suggests a later date to me, which is why I suggested a date of 1920s. Victorian glass did not typically have this type of harsh contrast between colours. Victorian fancy glass was colourful, no doubt about that, but it was more likely to use tints, eg, pink, lime green, peach, pale lemon, rather than pure primary colours. This combination of yellow (or orange) with cobalt blue was a popular one in the 1920s-30s era.
I don't proclaim to be an expert, & nor do I sell glass but I have been collecting it, & reading about it for a long time & I think I've developed a "feel" for it. Shape & colour can tell you a lot.
So, it's a sort of late Victorian shape with a 20s colour combo.
Hope this clears up any ambiguity about my attribution.

That's great Marinka - I wasn't doubting your attribution btw, just laughing at myself as I tend to put these spatter vases (that I assume usually are Czech / Bohemian, especially with the strong contrast between the handles and the body) in the Edwardian era.  Only just a little earlier anyway!

I am learning as I go along.  Sometimes, saying Oh I thought it was... can give me an idea of why it isn't so I am very interested in your comments on the colours.

Thank you very much!
