Anne, Thank you so much for your warm welcome and also for the instructions and guidence. Wonderfull people here. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I just wish I were 20 again and had known about Glass Art and collecting. However many more days, months - hopefully years, I have left, I will be on the alert for Glass. The Glass Bug did bite!

The ribbed vase is most likely a product of IVV from the 1980s when they mainly produced in this style.
Currently they produce trendy tableware and decoration:

Thanks so much for the research and sugestion Ivo. Wow! that Company does some nice items. I wonder if they have archived Catalogs? But then I don't think any of the 3 Vases are that 'new' though.  I am really racking my brain here thinking that at least back to the late 1960's is when they were sitting down on the 3rd shelf in Moms Cabinet. That's when my Grandmother came to live with us. I am now activly seeking a Glass and Jewelry Appriaser, so I will definately give report after that occurs.

Thanks again.

You may find that an appraiser costs far more than your items are worth, as they probably all have more sentimental value than anything else
