<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 1354, member: 44"]Moreother..., thank you for your opinion! I value your opinion. I hadn't thought of cameo glass. It might be, but there isn't any relief. Shouldn't there be with anything cameo? I looked around this evening and found a few other vases that are a bit similar. They seem to be titled 19th century Bohemian ruby frosted blown vases in the same shape as this one with the flared top and tapered neck. Several of them are described as having thin glass as this one. Many of them have a similar red/ruby rim and top of neck. A few were called flash rather than stained. At least one of them used style in reference to Bohemian meaning they really didn't know origin. Again want to stress I am a rank amateur when it comes to this type of glass. Following are a few links to some I found. I don't even know if the owners of them know anymore about this glass than I. Have included close-ups pics.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.rubylane.com/item/541897-GY670/Antique-Victorian-Blown-Glass-Vase" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.rubylane.com/item/541897-GY670/Antique-Victorian-Blown-Glass-Vase" rel="nofollow">http://www.rubylane.com/item/541897-GY670/Antique-Victorian-Blown-Glass-Vase</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I thought this perfume bottle was interesting.
