Here's one from the market, that I picked up on instinct. It looks like VSL but I never noticed this shape in their range before. Unmarked.

Does anyone know the name or date?

I don't think it is VSL, it looks a bit like the Beyer & Co productions.

[Jay]

Yes, the cutting does, but the colour and shape are NOT? immediately similar to what I've seen from Beyer which are inner cased sommerso, whereas this is cut-to-clear.

Unlabelled = so it could be any of the smaller German/Bohemian factories looking at the development of modernist cuts and doing a pastiche of styles.

If somebody knows of a good comparable ...??(There IS an identical clear vase on the net attributed to Beyer but no evidence/label!

[Anne Tique]

Ah yes, you're right, they're clear cased, hadn't thought of that. It definitely isn't VSL but it does make me think of Germany for some reason.

I can't help, I'm afraid, but wanted to comment on that wonderful photograph Jay.
It's a really complicated thing and you've managed to show it incredibly well - in just one single image.

It 'might' be worth looking up Vaclav Horacek

there is a catalogue reference here which reminds me a bit of your piece (scroll right down to the bottom of the listing to the last (second) black and white catalogue reference where the two vases have some similarity with yours:
