    Hello!

    On my lunchtime thrifting adventure I picked up this little cranberry (?) glass vase- 7"H. There's a pontel mark so I have at least figured it is hand blown! My glass knowledge is pretty weak but I am trying to learn. Any tips for figuring out the date of such a vase? There is also some almost streaky lines on it (which I thought was a crack but doesn't appear to be). Does this indicate that it is poorly made or something else? As always, I appreciate your knowledge. Thanks all!

    That's a honeycomb pattern. It's been blown into a mould. I'd think not Victorian maybe 50s ish.
