Hi, welcome to the board. Is it glass? If so, can we have a base shot and a shot from the top, preferably against a plain white or black background, and dimensions.

Slightly larger pictures would help too.

Nice pictures - of a fascinating piece.
Welcome, to the gmb, Bella.
It might help us a good bit to know your location, often pieces are fairly local to where they are found - though this is not always the case.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Really?  I was ruminating that it must be Czech... 

It's a great looking piece though and one I'd like to own.

I'm no expert but I'm very certain that this is not Bertil Vallien's work. Don't know whose it is.. :-\
