I've had a few kind Czech glass experts tell me this isn't Czech glass. Maybe someone out there knows its maker? It's frosted with glossy colored spattered glass. The bottom mark has been polished along with the rim. Not an easy piece to photograph, it looks almost black but is actually a deep blue.

im thnking not czech.. when showing pic of glass you really need to include the base and the rim in photo.. doesnt look czech to me
no czech
Thanks czechman and jericho:)
your very welcome sarahoff:)
Thanks czechman for the advice, I added a few extra photos. Hopefully it will help to identify it.
the spatter, end-of-day, mottled, confetti or clichy glass was made all over the world for over 100 years. this look like good "studio glass" from the 80's, when many artists (including Chihuly) reinterpreted designs of Bohemia and beyond. the rim is softer and the base is rounder than you would expect from Czech vases from 1920-1940. it looks well made and produced by individuals rather than mass produced like Czech. for Czech confetti glass look for a ground rim (with a micro bevel to each edge) a flat base with no pontil. it will have a consistent thickness throughout. look for the glass layers on the edge of the rim to look like this: crystal-base color-confetti-crystal or crystal-base color-crystal- confetti to part or all of the surface (leaving a molten glass texture)
Thank you so much jericho, your input is very helpful:)
