I found this at a flea market on Sunday; it looks very much in the style of Sabino from the 20s/30s but isn't signed. I'd be grateful for any suggestions to help identify it!

beautiful deco design!
I'm seeing a similarity to some Muller Fréres pieces too...
I agree with EdCalipel, it definitely looks French Art Deco and much like Muller Freres. I am still researching this, but I really like it. It still might be Czech, but with the right shade, it will be great. What I like is that even if it started out a a vase, it appears to not have been drilled. Makes for a great internet conversation piece. Thanks for sharing.
very beautiful:)
I found this same design on another site as a vase. If you go to http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php?topic=38344.0 your may be able to follow the thread. They do not know the maker either.
Thank you, I've posted a picture of mine there. Mine does appear to have been made as a lamp base as the fitting is a very good fit and loos original to the piece. Hopefully, there are some 90 year olds that might read this thread...
