This small iridescent vase is 3.6" tall by 3.6" diameter (9.2 cm by 9.2 cm). I would like to know the maker, it is unmarked. It's classical shape makes me think it might be Loetz.

Hi from Sydney Australia!
It might also be German WMF "Myra".
Thank you vetraio50, I will look into it.
The stretch glass does look more like WMF than loetz to me .
Thank you ozmarty, it may well be WMF Myra, I haven't found that exact shape yet but the colouring and texture is very similar. The book Wmf Ikora & Myra Glaser/Glass by Carlo Burschel is suppossed to identify all model numbers from 1928 to 1951. If someone has access to this publication I would be grateful if they could look this vase up.
Interesting WMF Myra link http://germanmodernism.com/designers/view/32
Hi Spackova , i have that book and just checked it probably shape J27 from 1929 or 1230 of 1951 (both similar. fist one closest
Thank you Ozmarty for taking the time to look this up. I appreciate it! Now that I know the code it will be easier to find a photo or sketch to compare.
