Hi Andy,
Not sure could be similar to some ‘Cellophane’ glass' i recently purchased. Nothing exactly the same, although interesting link below:-

I´m wondering if it might be a Gralglas piece. Like Zwiesel they often
used bubble decoration produced by metall oxide inclusions. This
auction house has pictures (pity they are only thumbnail size) of
pieces in a similar colourway.

Unfortunately there doesn´t seem to be a book on this fabulous
glassworks yet. Information can only be gained from publications
about their designers such as Karl Wiedmann or Konrad Habermeier.

Thanks all,
Greg, i know its not 'cellophane' glass, i have a few, nice stuff, and have had a few conversations
on here. (search for cellophane)
Dirk, The Gralglas is interesting, the examples do look very very similar, shame cant get a bigger photo,
and i was leaning towards Zweisel/WMF ,
Keith, possible it may be British/studio , so i will do a bit more searching
Cheers
Andy

It's a lovely piece. I've got a few pieces from the 50's to 80's with inclusions like that so I like the technique. I think of Benny Motzfeltd, Bengt Orup and Leerdam, but none have this colour.

I think Dirk is on the right track, judging by the little pictures of of Lot 341 in his link. The date would be right for the style, too.
