    Picked this up today. Stands 10 3/4" tall and measures 8" across the top. I think is wheel cut. I thought about it and don't think its a glorified waste basket. Any help? The base also has a wheel cut circle.

    Well, since this thread has been sitting here since Saturday afternoon with no replies, I'll take a stab at it and hope it generates more eyeballs.

    Shortly after you posted this, kraftblue, I did some searches with key words that popped into my head.

    Acid etched cameo, sandblasted cameo.

    There is a lot of modern art glass that comes up in those searches, but I didn't find this pattern. A lot of Pilgrim Glass and Correia Glass especially, along with other named glass artists. But still, I didn't find anything so big as yours, unsigned or this pattern design.

    I used words like trumpet flower, bell flower, tube flower, fuchsia flower.
    Can't figure out if the other part of the design is supposed to be leaves or fruit.:confused:

    Here's hoping someone else has more, better ideas!

    Thanks Laura. Someone suggested I post on a Facebook Bohemian glass group. Someone really only said the term sand...someone else said it looks modern. You did quite a bit..

    I also took a look around for a bit and looked in an Art Glass Nouveau book I have...I am just going to list it as Sandblasted Acid etched Cameo...didn't pay a whole lot.. Don't think I will ever find maker.

    Those are brugmannsia. Sometimes called angel's flowers, I think. The arborea variety has round fruit.
