No, this is the only one.  It has a cat face on one side and a people face on the other side.  Sorry if the pics were confusing....it is one goblet/vase with two different raised subjects.

Thanks for all of the interest.  I am a bit behind because my internet has been down...but now back in business.  I submitted it to the link for pattern ID today and will keep you posted.

The bowl is four and 3/4 inches deep and yes, I think it is too heavy to be a box enclosure; it weighs 1.15 pounds.  I don't have any others that are remotely like it.  I have sold most of them but definitely know there weren't any similar.  I am attaching a better photo of the entire glass if that might help.

Thanks Mart..did not find my pattern but was surprised to find that celery vases had straight sides.  For some reason I thought they were all fluted or wider at the top.  Bigwull, also searching Bohemian glass but more extensive and time consuming.  Thanks a bunch.

My mother-in-law had a collection of 82 pattern glass goblets.  Over the years, I have able to ID the patterns that weren't marked and sell them.  However, this one has me stumped.  I have searched through several pattern glass books and periodically google images without satisfaction.  I also brought it to a glass show where they offered appraisals.  All the gentleman could tell me was that it might be European.  Any help would be appreciated..origin, pattern, value etc.  Thanks in advance.

A belated thanks Mart....am finding many potential similarities at auction houses with the same name.  But they also require a fee to join so am taking my time to figure out which one will give me the best ban for my buck.

I will definitely have it reframed.  Should I use the same frame or something more decorative?

Do you think it would sell on eBay or does anyone have some other suggestions?  I love this site...kudos to all of you wh0 possess all that knowledge.

I am in the process of liquidating a relative's estate.  I found this water color at the bottom of a box.  I have searched and searched for some information but to not much avail.  I did find a listing of a S. Ishikawa water color on an auction site (Bouchard).  The signature and style looked the same.  It was listed as proposed to be within $200-$300 AS IS.  It did not sell because it sounded like it was damaged.  I would appreciate it if someone could tell me more about the artist and if my water color has any value.
