Here is another picture it is very heavy and thick glass. I can see clear, amber, yellow and green colours.
Thank you for your help. Will try and take some better pics

Looks Murano to me although no specific company springs to mind. The colours are right and the shape of the top is right.

Hi cazza, a pic of the base would be good along with a close up pic of the sommerso section. What are the dimensions also? The sommerso looks good in that and the amber colouring looks clean.

Definitely looks Murano to me. Polished base confirms it.
