My wife bought this vase in a charity shop recently and I am quite fond of it . There are no labels or makers names on it and I am curious as to the maker may be. It is balluster in shape andi it has gold flecks embedded in the lower half of the vase and the glass has a ribbed effect pattern to the finish. It is 8" in height and 41\2" at it widest point.
