Here's some more hope they are better,Keith.

mmmhhh.... I'm not really sure if it is made in Murano or not....
may be. The used technique is compatible with the style of many glassmakers. Also the not sophisticate features are compatible with the skills of a wide group of craftmen...
Imho I would say Murano at 50%. I would say that it was made between the '50s and the '70s. Pratically impossible to identify the name of the glassmaker.
Sorry, but I don't feel confident to say more details.

Sincerely

Moved to Glass for more thoughts

I handled one of these not long ago, which was citrine coloured and centrifugal cast, with no real clues as to its maker. Impeccable finish, too. It was far too large to acquire (the secret of glass collecting is, stick to small footprint glass, dishes end up on a pile!) and I remember thinking it was probably Czech because of the colour....

This is probably Chřibská piece. Colour would lead also to Škrdlovice 50ties but the shape is too simple for this glassworks, I am afraid.
