[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 239885, member: 154"]Thanks for your help, everyone! I did see a link to that site, but skipped over it because of the German URL. Thanks for pointing to the PDF directly. It was a big help. I looked closely inside the vase, in case any mark was obscured by the sticker. I don't see anything, unfortunately. I think I agree with others that this may be older than 2001 when CIO started selling. But I agree about the casting - one side of the mold seam is very visible. Thanks for the tip about the Desna mark. When I was originally researching this, I thought that Desna was the original company. I re-read the PDF Mill Cove linked (I'm blanking on names today - sorry!). I see now that Desna was itself a repro company, even though it was formed in the 1920s. I've seen a few pieces of the green agate-style glass around, but not enough to get a good read on it. In the catalog pages shown in the PDF, the Desna versions look more detailed / have a sharper design, and I mistakenly thought they were the originals. Also, a Desna line of glass is still being produced, and here are current catalogs in PDF form. Their "vaseline" color is so vibrant.
