Haha - thanks for the tip. I will try that.
I have been doing some more research and stumbled upon 'Fenton Thumbnail Glass. Could that be it or am I barking up the wrong tree for any reason?

And one more photo with white paper inside to see if that helps.

Oh and it's 10cm across the top so rather large for a tumbler I think?

John - am I seeing your linked piece, and Christine's, as slightly concave 'ovals', and the piece here as having slightly convex ovals  -  or is it my eyes again?         Perhaps the op will clarify on this vase.        I suggested B.S. originally, which this is almost certainly not, because righty or wrongly I had assumed the pattern was convex as with 'large olives'.
Somehow I'm not seeing a match in the appearance of the optic patterns with the vase here.

I've seen the Christine's bowl pattern in the past, but no idea now if I ever knew the maker.

A simple check with a UV keyring light will confirm what might be visible in the OP's original photo - that it is uranium glass. If so then I think English and maybe made in the 20s or 30s but don't know which company, still interested in how much wear there is on the base.

Ooh I will try that trick re the UV light. Not anything definitive re ID but thanks for all your help. I've learnt quite a bit :)

I can post some more photos of the base etc if that would help solve the mystery further.
