I bought this at a yard sale last week...I thought it was just so pretty. It stands about 6" tall and is not symetrical which leads me to believe it was hand blown..? There are no markings on it but the lady I bought it from was in her 70's and she said it belonged to her mother...I know that doesn't tell me the age of it, it could have been new..or very old.? Does anyone have any idea about this piece ?

your lovely vase appears to be Fostoria Glass #1229 Frisco, orginally made around 1903; also reisued by Fostoria in 1950s and 1960s. Mosser Glass has a pattern that is verrrrry similar and called Elizabeth that is in their current catalog. From the color I'd guess this is possibly a Fostoria reissue.
Lovely.
