I thought this may be Salviati as the nearest I could find was a little vase a similar shape described as a 'cabinet vase'....but then I tend to think everything that is delicate and has gold in could be Salviati  ::) because I know zilch about Italian glass  ;D
It is ribbed both internally and externally it seems - 12 ribs so again I guess it's mould blown?  It's actually heavier than it looks ( so doesn't feel completely feather-like light like my little lampwork vase for example) is quite 'fragile' looking and is pale pink completely covered in gold leaf.  Measures 8.5cm high by 7.5cm wide.  I'm guessing it's Venetian perhaps?
any help much appreciated and many thanks  :sun:

m, it does look Venetian to me, but I couldn't guess at which company made it. It looks to me like it is mold-blown glass.
