Possibly Prachen - http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/bohemian_glass/prachenglass_home.htm

But the base is saying 'Chinese knock off' to me.

Is the base matt or polished?

If it is a 'knock off' it would likely be a 'copy' of presumably a well known and succesful design (otherwise why bother). It has little in commom with the Prachen designs which are mould blown and have prunts with an impressed pattern.

Prunts have been used for decoration for thousands of years, at least as far back as the Romans.

A rather nice bowl to my eye but I have no idea when or where it would have been made.

Definately not Prachen.

We had similar pieces on the glassmessageboard, and Gordiola / Spain was mentioned as a maker if I remember correctly (but there are many other possibilities I guess)

a few more pics.

the base is smooth polished and not the rough type you find on a lot of Chinese stuff. The prunts are simple blobs of blue glass and not impressed or moulded with anything like the raspberry shapes you sometimes see. Also the top rim has a slightly wobbly edge, not cut smooth.

the base is smooth polished

Call me pedantic, but, while it might be smooth, it's matt so it's not 'polished'.

Might be Polish, like those 'finger' vases. Are the prunts glued on?

I would say it 's not matt as in not almost opaque. The camera flash is making it look more matt than it really is, but it's not as clear as the glass on the sides that's for sure.

Um, 'matt' as in 'unpolished'. I don't think matt means 'opaque'.

I've been coming across a few Blenko pieces with prunts - designed by Wayne Husted and produced in 1959.
None yet with this shape and colour of vase and it should be signed, but here's a catalogue page with a couple of examples:
