Hi,
honestly I think pratically impossible to identify.
This is a kind of item that the 99% of the Murano glassmakers have blown at least one time in their life.

I agree but isn't it a lovely bowl? Not sure if it is early, it could have been made quite recently. There are a few similar bowls available on our local ebay.

Nice thing to have providing you didn't pay too much for it.

The label fell off the glue is quite old, the label is very stiff where it is old, there are 4  colours iclear, blue, a sort of pinky colour and white. Pontil is ruff and  unpolished.  I have seen one that looks very similar attributed to Aureliano Toso.
it is at the bottom of the page.
