When Dave posted his ball-footed Tango glass vase today, it was serendipitous - this vase also arrived today - the only difference in the shape is the absence of ball feet in favor of shallow base. Not signed or marked, but it has a large polished pontil. The deep golden orange color changes gradually to a more golden yellow toward the top, as Dave's seems to (see third photo). It has the typical applied black rim, fire polished.

I also have a lime green tango with blue trim in this exact shape. Mine is marked however, with the Cecho-Slovakia mark in the oval (that is not a typo, the "e" has a character over it that was once used instead of Czecho), a slight deviation from the standard Loetz oval mark.
very beautiful :)
Glad to see you like it Warren.
The color got to me, Kyle - nice auction photos :)
Thanks Warren.
