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.

Nice. I have to agree with David. And that amber colouring is very nice  ;D. Finding a maker is unlikely though. The majority of my green & amber collection is unidentified till I come across some with labels. A good piece though most likely by one of the better makers.
