Hi and welcome to the board :)

I can't help on your vase but hopefully someone will be along who recognises it.

My first thought was Skrdlovice but after looking through the catalogues from the 1950s maybe not. Then realised it has some of the look of designs by Milan Metelak for Harrachov though could not find another with a quick search.

I would bet on it being Czech though, other makers to search include ZBS (Zelezny Brod) and Mistisov but that blue colour and bulbous shape are reminiscent of Metelak...

Thank you John, for your explanation.
Mij first thougt was also Czech, and i was thinking it is from ZBS, but when i look the design of Metelak, he used the same colors and shape in blue and clearless glass.
