Possibly American Brilliant Period ABPCut Glass Wine Decanter Bottle Carafe Vase
This looks like the ABP vases, but I can't tell if it is authentic or not. I read an article from LaCroix that stated: "... The piece should be examined in the dark on a black fabric using a fluorescent black light. If the piece(s) fluoresces dusty rose in color, then it is most probably a late 1980s-type forgery." I tried this and didn't see any dusty rose color, but I'm definitely not an expert. I found this in my father-in-law's house, so I'm guessing they have had it for quite a while.
It measures just over 8" tall and roughly 5.5" wide at the center. Lovely diamond-quilt and palm/fan pattern around exterior with 8-paneled neck and flared mouth. It weighs a little over 3 lbs. with sharp deep cuts and textures. There are many flea bites, surface scratches and small chips on the lip, but they are largely unnoticeable unless you are looking for them. Even with the scratches and flea bites, it is a beautiful vase. Will ship either Priority, UPS Ground or FedEx Ground, depending on shipping location.
