Could this be by the Spanish company that makes reproductions of antique (particularly Roman) glass?  There was a discussion here a couple of months ago, and I seem to recall a link to their website.

Not something I recognise from Spain - I would suggest Murano (Seguso?) - assuming the underside is properly finished...

Hi Norman, would it be possible to see the underside, a side view where the base meets the body, and also an image of a side where a handle is attached to see the design in the glass around that area.....  From the one pic that is posted, it does not strike me as Italian......
I have been told that glass is my mistress......

The black glass looks very nice to me. This looks to be a fairly good quality vase. It reminds me of some of the mid-century Murano pasta vases. I'm very open to arguments, though.
