Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):

Iridescent purple glass vase covered with an all over pulled thread design in silver (the silver appears gold depending on how the light is shown). The bottom does not appear to have a makers mark and there is a ground and polished pintel that appears as a concave oval shape area about a 1/2" long. In the picture, this is where the colored bead is ground through and clear.
The vase is slightly opaque with the covered glass being a light purple glass with what appears to be full of tiny bubbles or crackles.

Any information would be helpful.
