31 views and nobody with a clue as to whether this is murano glass must be all looking for values.

Welcome to the board. That's not the way it works here. It generally means we don't know and it often takes time for the right person to come along. I don't think it's Murano, more likely Czech, possibly Chribska - but that is purely a guess, but it is where I would start looking. The best place for even more views is on the general board

We can move it over there if brubaker wishes?

Could be Murano I guess but my first guess would be Scandi.

This style is very common from Norwegian and Swedish glassmakers, I seem to recall something similar
from a British maker also but can't remember the specifics.

For the used techniques I can say that there are several Murano glassmakers that can be the right ones for this piece. Anyway, may be due to the colour and the light of this glass, I "feel" something not familiar, so my feeling is that it wasn't made here. I have seen similar heavy vessels also in Prague.

Sincerely

Fairly typical of Chribska, late 50s-60s, and probably something similar still being made by them, but you would need to see their current catalogue. Hand-made mass-production item. I don't do values.
