From what I'm finding with a bit of research it appears that it is a match for the shape of the ones Fenton produced.

I believe it may be  the one made by Jain Glass Works

 

There is an identical one, but in Carnival Glass, in Edwards & Carwile: Std Encyclopedia of Carnival Glass 8th Edn

looking closer at the Jain one...it has a watch on the wrist which your blue one does not seem to have.

 

so maybe Fenton made a similar one, but without the watch?

There's an article in Angela Bowey's Glass Museum on hand vases at http://www.theglassmuseum.com/glasshandvases.htm. To me, your vase looks more like the Fenton style. I didn't realize before I looked through the blog that there were so many of these made.

Amazing how many different ones there are  isn't it!  I do agree it looks like  a Fenton

 

 

I have one of my own, not for sale that I know is very old (c1920s-30s)...I think I see it there in that Glass Museum article.... here is mine

I love the grouping. The colors and heights work so well together.
