HI! Glad I found this site. Does anyone know anything about this vase? It is simply gorgeous and in perfect condition. Measures 9 1/8 inches tall by 3 3/4 inches wide at the base. I don't know how old it is, nor do I see any signatures or maker's marks but is a very fine piece nevertheless.

Looks like a Dugan Carnaval Glass Vase. I think Spiralex, gave my book away but think it is. They ranged for 9 to 12 in high. Bottom looks like a Dugan.

Hi Dave, Thanks so much for the quick info! I really appreciate that. Yes, I think you are right. The samples shown on the link you provided look just like my vase. What do you think it might be worth? Susan
Actually, I think it is Dugan's "Wide Rib" vase.
I remember there were 2 styles by Dugan that confused people so it could be Glen. Dave
That's right, Dave. They are very similar, but the Wide Rib has a larger flute or flame at the top, where the eight ribs end. The ribs are not always twisted, which can make it all rather confusing.
Hey, Im old working off memories. LMAO! Dave
Hi,
My two cents worth. I say it is "Dugan-Diamond" Spiralex Vase...
