This vase is similar in design to the Tauben (Pigeons) vase that is known to have been made by Libochovice Glass who were a Czechoslovakian Glass Company.
Pictured below is the underside of the base of this vase.
What is interesting is the lettering on the base.
You can just make out the word FRANCE and above it you can also just see the letters S P _ P.
