the glass factory is unlikely to be the one that applied the metalware.

I think this piece is from Spain, including the garish applications. Not sure which glass maker is responsible for these - I've never seen them stickered. But in each Spanish town and village there is a corner shop which sells these....

It seems to be Cyprus, Ivo, thanks to my finding one with a label a while ago (unless that was the retailer label, of course!) : http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,1805.0.html

BTW the original post says brown / orange vase, the picture shows a blue one!
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd
