A punch ladel? 

My guts are whispering Norway or thereabouts. But only whispering.

[Paul S.]

wondered if it might be a frigger of some sort, but don't see anything remotely approaching this shape the Nailsea book.                        a modern take on one though, perhaps

Colour and pontil mark finish are consistent with Empoli verde. Never seen this model before though.

Has good signs of ware to base, and a lot of imperfections in the glass, making thinking it's an older piece rather than a 20thc one?

[Ivo]

wear takes 15 years or less to appear.

[eshearm]

I don't think it's empoli the base is uneven the glass is less bright and the air bubbbles and grit are too many

[eshearm]

But it might just be one that was sold as a second, which is why it's such poor quality, because as you say Ivo it looks like theirs xx
