    Picked up this cool looking vase. Has an interesting top. Stands 9" tall and the opening is 2". The top rim was cut and smoothed out. No makers mark. Slight wear on the base. Can anyone help ID?

    Shoot, I hate my old brain.
    I think it was the LE Smith book I was looking through. I saw this same shape pictured in pink with a light swirl from bottom to top. I think it was made during the 1980s.
    If I think of it today, I will try and get the line name.

    Ok, I remembered to read the note I wrote and put in my pocket.:)

    Tom Felt, LE Smith Encyclopedia of Glass - Patterns and Products 2011
    Page 274

    Several pieces shown in pink with a swirl. But one vase is the exact same shape, with the top opening.

    Pattern Rondelay 1984 -1987
    The difference is the swirl. He says the vase is blown glass. Was made in pink, blue and crystal. Pattern #8037.

    However, he is indicating that LE Smith was not able to make blown glass. That most likely this pattern was made by Libbey who operated the Smith factory from 1976-1986.

    The vase shown is listed as 10". I see your vase is 9". So maybe Libbey made another version that was plain glass and a different size.
