    Some listings on worthpoint say Blue Del was in Huntington, WV, in the 1940s, but googling hasn't found anything.

    I found other glass examples that cite Blue Del Co., in Huntington, West Virginia and give dates in the 1940s.
    I also found a 1947 ad for Blue Del that doesn't mention glass but does state, "Flowers Telegraphed Everywhere".
    Lastly, I found a reference that stated Leslie Pina's book "Crackle Glass Too" contains info on the Blue Del company.
    Very pretty decoration around the "neck" of that vase!

    That glass decoration around the neck is called "Regaree".

    Thanks. According to the last link Blue Del was a flower shop? So, did they produce the pieces?

    Looking at the Pina book it looks like they had glass made to their order and applied a label selling to the florist trade.

    Is that a typo, or is regaree another spelling of rigaree? :joyful::p

    With George's info, it sounds like the Blue Del Flower Shop could have contracted with any of the West Virginia glass houses operating at the time.
    It's an interesting mystery.
