    Hello - posted this in the finds thread but thought I'd ask the glass experts - Is there anything about this vase that would point to a specific or approximate age or origin? It's about 7" tall and weighs just a hair over 1 pound US (469g). Has a pontil scar and some small marks on the base rim - not sure if they're marks from the production of it or were put there to help stabilize it standing.

    Could have been made anywhere. Blue bud vase. The base marks look incidental to the blowing process. Likely a florist item.
