I have searched for a long time to identify this vase. So far I haven't been successful. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
The vase has a rather unusual shape. It appears to be pressed glass. The vase is very heavy for it size; it weighs 1.28kg. It is 5.5 inches high and 9 inches wide. The bottom rim is finely polished. The finishing looks like raindrops or bubbles.
When I looked at the vase, I first thought that it might be made in Czechoslovakia but I could not confirm this. I also checked out Scandinavian glass - no match. Then I checked mid-century modern glass. I am at a loss.
Thanks for looking:)
Beautiful vase, lovely pattern as you said looks like raindrops - very unique
Beautiful! It's Polish from Zabkowice glassworks and part of the 'Asteroid' range by Jan Sylwester Drost. The 'Asteroid' pieces were produced from 1972 to 1975.
Great piece, considered quite desirable. :)

Anik, thanks so much for solving the mystery of the origin of my vase! I spent so much time online and didn't find it. Without your help I would be still searching:)
