Hi Trish & Welcome
Even without noting your country, Chalet Glass of Canada would have been one of my suggestions.
Thank you for giving your location which goes to re-inforce that impression and make it more likley but without hard eveidense it's impossible to be sure. Another possibility would be Murano.
How heavy is it ? From that we may be able to judge if its lead crystal or not. Yes the color is very intense and very lovely.

Hi Peter
Thanks for the welcome.  What a nice site, I have just recently heard of Chalet (within the last year), they produced some nice pieces.  Someone had told me that it was probably Scandinavian but I am so new to glass that I don't know, and of course it isn't signed, would make life easier if it was it is quite heavy for it's size, around 4 pounds. .  Any and all tips are always welcome.
