    This was a super find on eBayAU which arrived yesterday. It was extremely dirty but after a thorough cleaning it's scrubbed up very nicely indeed. What can I say but when I saw this I hit that buy it now button without hesitation...it has everything that I like best in art glass - it's flamboyant (to put it mildly), fancy, & has an ugly/beautiful vibe that I simply adore.
    It's on the biggish side, but I've found a spot for it!
    The vase is made from three layers of cased glass, clear over bright yellow with a vermilion red interior. It measures 26 cm tall, 14.2 cm across the tightly crimped, J.I.P style top rim, & around 11 cm across the applied footed base.
    There is applied decoration in an unusual shade of olive green of a leaf trail with fruit (plums?) which runs down to the base.
    The yellow layer contains cadmium & glows orange under UV light.
    I'm fairly sure that this is of Bohemian origin. The yellow/orange - red colour scheme is reminiscent of Welz "tomato & yellow" decor, but after seeing it next to a basket in this decor, I can see differences in both the shades of yellow & orange/red. The Welz decor has more of a golden - yellow, whereas this vase is more of a lemon - yellow. The orange - red is much redder on this piece as well.
    I have another vase with a similiar yellow ground & olive green applied decoration of flowers which I suspect is a Harrach product.
    Anyway, what I DO know is that it isn't Murano glass as it was described in the eBay listing.... :-)

      Thanks so much, vintagelamp - I agree, it's definitely got a retro sci - fi attitude!
