With 40 plus years of looking at antique glass, including curtain tie-backs, I've never seen the solid glass post on the back. I'll bet they are...
Yes, they have cut panels on the sides of the bowl, but while they are cut, the are not what cut glass collectors/dealers collect/offer for sale....
I believe you'll find that the blue on your vase is enamel (paint), as opposed to being a cut-back layer of glass, value, good for holding...

Gently, Komogwa, we don't want to alienate the customers.
Fifty years of experience makes it hard to remember learning the difference. It seems like it's intuitive now, I usually can tell before I pick...
It would take some really heavy duty lungs to blow that, I suspect pressed, although without hands on I can't say it's not cut.
I can't see the decoration well enough to identify it, but assuming it is Chintz, it's No. 450, introduced in 1931. It is on a No. 3389 Duquesne...
