Approx 8" tall with a broken pontil but looks like it is sitting on a clear base which I have not captured here, but will add if requested. Has a rib which can be felt more on the outside at the top rather than the bottom of the vase. It has lots of black gritty flecks in the glass with a milky green colour
between the ribbing. Any pointers would be appreciated, many thanks!!

Probably cased once more with hot glass before blowing is completed.
