This pretty glass vase is beautiful, with a thick, highly polished bottom that is signed. It has elegant lines to it.  It is cloudy, likely from hard water use. This may come out with vinegar or a waterpipe cleaner, I looked it up and saw may threads suggesting both but in the end I decided I would not to mess with it  and leave that up to the buyer.  I took many pictures to show this cloudiness, though, and am disclosing this now. There also are small tiny lines that look like even  marks/ scratches on the INSIDE of the vase.  I think these may just be to the hard water stain, like someone took a bottle cleaner brush to it; which is what makes me think it may come out.  Or they might not and may be to the glass itself. Again, I'm not certain, but I want to disclose all of it.  I took many pictures, including outside in the sunlight, to best highlight everything.  Please look at all the pictures carefully. I honestly do not know how old this vase is. What is known is I  bought it at an estate sale in Fredericksburg, Texas; from a woman I would guess to be in her early fifties who said it has been her mother's and she had passed (the estate sale was because of is.  That doesn't truly help, though, as she could have had it a year or 30+ years before passing, and I also don't know if her mother got it new or used.  There's no way of knowing.  I do know It is beautiful, and the lines/shape of the vase are graceful and really pretty.  The bottom is highly polished and thick, like a murano vase, for example, and it is signed.  This can be seen  in pictures.  The last photo is a screenshot of the listing with the vase measurements on it.  Again, please look over the pictures carefully before you decide.  Thank you for looking, and please consider taking a look at my other  items.   =)
