Never seen this one before, so the bump really helps.
The combination opal inner clear outer was widely used by Meijdam in Leerdam in the 1950s and 1960s and I would not be surprised if your vase turned out to be one of these. I bought a bottle vase in the same colour combination 2 weeks ago and discovered it was signed. The sig is so light that it requires talent and magnification to spot it.

I think, after my searching for Arte Nueva Murano yesterday, that this piece is very likely by them.
This link of a sommerso  vase ,
http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/murano-arte-nuova-rare-world-fair-brussels-1958

has an unusual twisted base, amost identical to mine, apart from the colour. (Pic 4 on the link )
Theres no doubt this vase of mine is well executed, and I think a good Murano maker is a probability
