Looks like Mount Washington.....Maybe Burmese or Peachblow.....

I didn't do any research but that might be a good place to start....

I think Webb also had a similar line.

English or Bohemian is likely, though I might put my money on English. It's neither peachblow nor Burmese. It may be uranium custard glass lined with pink, but you would need a UV light to check that.

Hi, no UV reaction with the light.

Gulliver devotes a number of pages to similar small posy type vases with many, like yours, showing a four way crimp in varying degrees of size.   Most examples show applied decoration - showing stylized Acanthus leaves, nuts, fruits etc., so your is a more simple version.   Gulliver seems to have block described these as being dated to c.1885, and  "formed in creamy white/opal white glass over pale ruby".  Height is usually somewhere between 4 and 6 inches, and like yours they usually had a polished concave pontil mark.   Probably for obvious reasons, Gulliver omitted any formal attribution on any of his examples, so we will go with Lustrousstone's experienced thoughts.
