Hi there and Welcome to the Board!!  :rah:

I am not sure -- but would maybe guess Empoli glass from Italy, but members that have much more knowledge than me will be able to help you more.

Again Welcome!!   Enjoy the board!!

Thank you, antiquerose!  I did some digging around on Empli, but nothing looks like it matches. what led you to think it was Empoli?

I also got a note back from Mosler, who couldn't identify it either.

does anyone have any other ideas?

i'm really desperate

thanks!
