    Hello CW friends,

    I was hoping that someone can help me identify this vase that i got for free from a friend who is relocating. He is in his 60s and he said it belonged to his mother.

    It's about 7" tall, pretty heavy. It has an odd "champagne" tint to it. Looking closer, i realized that the details on it are not perfectly even, identical or symmetrical. If you look at the petals (pic 4) one of them looks like the maker accidentally cut a chunk off of it. According to my research on ABP glass, these would be the signs of a fake item.

    On the bottom of the vase there's an 8-pointed star and naturally-looking signs of wear. The teeth on the vase are smoothed over.
    These, i understand, would be the signs of an authentic piece.

    The vase "feels" old, but i'm very confused. Can anyone please shed some light on what i may have here?

    Thanks so much!
