    These are the other 2 pieces that came in the lot. Thanks again for your help!

    #1 is a mini 2 7/8" tall. It looks amber-ish with a silvery purple-ish iridescence. I noticed a little round indented circle on the side and am wondering if it's some clue or just done "in the making".

    #2 Google images says it's a tadpole vase but doesn't say what the decor is. 5 1/2" tall and about 6 1/2" at its widest.

    His piece is beautiful. However, I'm not seeing that the pattern in the glass is the same as mine - his seems more one all-over color where mine has an oil spot pattern similar to Papilon. It appears that the "tadpole" design was done by many glass companies in the early 1900s, including Tiffany, Loetz, and other Bohemian makers.

    And yes, all 4 pieces were sold in one lot. The auction is a small, country auction. There were only 2 of us who knew the glass was special and we were bidding against each other. It cost me more than I would usually spend, but I was determined to have it!

    Beautiful!
    I'd say your vase is the same maker as Allen's. These tadpoles look mold blown while most others are applied glass.
    He even posted another jar, (different finish), two years earlier. If he based his attribution to the first jar by color only, that would be a good guess, but not the only possibility.
