This piece is a mystery to me. It looks like a 1940s Fenton overlay case but it's got a pontil mark on the bottom as well as all 4 sides on the bottom edges around the vase? It has a beautiful iridescent shimmer to it as well. Any ideas who made it? I'd love to know the history of it. Thank you
Sorry for the typo, thats vase not case ;)
yes, Fenton amber cased or honey cased. this shape was made in various colors and also sold thru QVC as recent at 2005 or so; can be found online with Fenton labels. that's not a pontil scar just a waviness in the glass.

Thank you so much, I appreciate you solving the mystery for me. I love history and glass pieces so putting them together and getting it right is both important and exciting to me.
