This is from one of my favorite sellers in The Netherlands. It has a very solid glass construction, with deep pedestal foot rest, and a baluster body that seems too short. The rim is finely polished which adds to the confusion. About five inches high, with a combination or a double spatter decor of blue and white, and a brownish effect pulled spatter made with red and yellow glass chips on top of the blue.
I have seen short vases which correspond to celery glass containers in size. In fact, some collectors focus on this particular type of glass dinnerware.
The heft and the fabrication is Ruckl like, the colors are more in the Scailmont glass range of the Art Deco period. I have seen what we might call 'bowling pin' vases and squat wide vases with this type of decor from Belgium.
Sharing another unattributed glass piece, good for future study and solutions.

A Scailmont shape vase with a double spatter decor: blue and red.
I agree, very nice piece and a mystery to me too. I don’t segregate my pieces and I have to admit I have let a few Scailmonts sneak into my collection
Unusual colour combinations; excellent find.
very nice indeed , quality first class

Thank you so much for all the loves and comments. Much appreciated.
keramikos,
I enjoyed your link very much, I did not realise celery vases were such a trend during late Victorian times. My knowledge about them was slim. There is one add page from Rindskopf in the Truitt volume, when they switched from Bohemian blown and molded glass to pressed glass in 1915 or so. It shows a series of clear ornate celery vases in the advertisement.
