could be, but the upside down picture shows amber casing as well I think?

The outer casing does 'appear' to be amber even indoors but whether that's just reflection off the pink I don't know ? Though it does follow on amber through the green too.
To be honest Sue never gave Scotland a thought my initial thoughts were Italian to be honest. Maybe a 'tweak' of the title may draw in comments from Czech glass or Italian collectors.
Thanks both for your interest.

It is the combed pieces with mica - the ones like the yellow and grey-blue vase on Frank's site, which are most commonly mistaken for Monart, Chris - but it is Czech - and from a similar period as Monart.

I have no doubts your vase is by this as-yet-unnamed Czech maker.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
