Well between jobs today I decided to pop my head into the local charity shop and found this tucked away . From what I can see it is a glass vase, hand painted with flowers and gilded leaves and rim. There are no marks on the base but there is, intriguingly, half an identification label. Unfortunately me not being up to scratch with Czech glassware I have no idea who the maker depicted is. So, I was hoping some of you wonderful lot might be able to recognise the name from my part stickerage!
Any info appreciated, as always.
Oh and forgot to add. It's 21cm high and 11cm wide (at it's widest part), so good size.
Here's a shot of the vase with the full John Jenkins sticker:

Hamish is John Jenkins are retailer or wholesaler over there?
I'm not big on gilded Bohemian vases generally but this is very very nice. Beautiful flowers, and to me it has an Asian feeling about it, which I like.
Thank you swfinluv1, I appreciate it. And yes, it doesn't really jump out at me but the half sticker intrigued me! It does look far eastern now you mention it.
I assume that the vase was made by someone else (in the Czech Republic) and John Jenkins and Sons are just the retailers/distributors?
