Looking for help with this one - periwinkle blue iridescent glass with an acid cut back oroplastic type border around the top of the rolled fire-polished rim. Nice polished pontil. It's kind of like a cross between Loetz and Moser. About 5.5 inches tall and about 7.0 inches in diameter.

Beautiful glass!
Starting to look more like Loetz as time goes by...
Black and gold suggestive of Loetz Etruscan decor ... which is in the next cabinet to the Silberiris "Mushrooms" at PGM ... some of which have a black enamel frieze ...
I would have been happy to buy it as such ... A good find!
I'm going to call it Loetz and depart the battlefield - thanks, all for your comments!
Update - the same shape was photographed in Passau -definitely Loetz circa 1920!
Very much like my silberiris:
