Suggestions as to origin? I was thinking Germany or Austria myself, but could be just anything.

Gorgeous, shape is not uncommon in French and American catalogues.

Pamela
Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Yes of course I saw those - the bubble one is very similar, including the lenthwise seam and the underside. I am wondering if this could be the "organische Glasfarbe" introduced by Degussa in 1960 that Mr. Mauerhoff referred to in the Schmetterling thread??
