Hello everybody

I have a new purchase and im wondering if any of you can help

It appears to be retro in origins, it certainly had a whole heap of dust and dirt on it when I bought it, so im hoping its older than it may look

I have included on the photo a close up of the glass that shows bubbles within the mottled effect.
 
If you have any clues or help as to manufacturer or origins that would be a massive help

Thank you in advance

Kind Regards

Ashley

 :hi: and welcome, Ashley!

No idea here, but a photo of the base could be of help to probably identify  ;)

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Possibly Italian?

Hi Ashley, I doubt this will help much with ID unless someone recognises the pattern, but there is a similar vase on ebay, different colour and pattern, maybe related:

I'd guess at Italian/Empoli too.
