I am hoping someone here will be able to help tell me the age and maker of this vase. I have seen very ornate versions of this on this site, but not this one. I saw it in charity shop and bought it despite the fact it is badly damaged on the base, just to learn more about it. It is actually more damaged than I thought, cos when I tried to wash it out (it was black on the bottom), the water poured out of the base! I am pretty sure it is Milk Glass, but beyond that I am not sure.
detailing looks like Vallérysthal & Portieux 4595 in their 1907-08 catalogs
Thanks Tallcakes, I have had a look, though there doesn't seem to me much about this glassworks on line. It is pretty much valueless with the damage, though I guess I could put silk or dried flowers in it!
