I would call it a "fluted vase art glass". Hope that's a start at least.

It does have a name, but for the life of me I can't remember it. The piece I had was Fenton.

I think it's Murrhina? Did I remember right?

Murano (style) - Murano is an island near/off of Italy and often used (some would question the accuracy) when refering to this style. It might also be referred to as "stretch" to indicate the method of shaping the glass.
Hope this helps.

I think there is a company called Murano that makes glass of this type. I have some paperweights that are made in the same way and on the bottom is a paper sticker that says Murano. I think there are also copycat versions coming out of China too.

Murano is actually an island. Not sure if there's a company by the same name, but don't mistake the name for a company name rather than where many high-quality glass companies have been located.
Murano, a small island in the Venetian lagoon, has been famous for centuries as a center for one of the "arts of the fire": glass. Since 1292, when Venetian glass companies had to relocate to the island, most of its population has lived by glass production. The complete scale of glass items, from small pearls to mirrors, chandeliers, tableware and purely decorative objects, is manufactured on Murano. The latter category, was to reach its highest degree of sophistication during the 20th century.
Google "Murano Glass Italy" and you'll find a wealth of good info and examples.

Fenton has a pattern called Vasa Murrhina, but not sure if this is it. Vasa is a little busier than this one, although the picture is kinda dark on my monitor.

Thanks, all. Not sure if this is actually Murano...it's not marked and doesn't have a sticker. It does have a pontil. Good info though and I'll research further. Appreciate the help.

Could very well be new made in China. I'm seeing alot of that around these days. I would assume that Italian Murano type glass would have a polished pontil as opposed to a rough pontil.
