Can you help with this ? I'm not able to find in the Blenko Glass online catalogs.
I promised I checked each and every one.

Your glass appears to be a West Virginia Birthday Vase. I use the word appears as for it to be a legitimate WVA Birthday Glass it must have a signature of BLENKO family member and
be number - often a signature of the designer will be added.
This is an early WVa Birthday Vase - designed by Don Shepperd.
The bonnet or vase is highly sought after - many were broken - the handle often cracks
with use.
I don't give value to WVa Birthday Vases - however, they usually increase in value after purchase.
The WVa Vase you sent photo of - is for sale at The South Charleston Antique Mall for a price of more than $1000.
My experience has been the early pieces sell for between 500-750 . Although we have one recorded for $1800.
