Uneven and wonky so no relation to a big name at all. Modern decorative glass from China or India - or the most likely - Mexico.

sprinkled with soda? or a similar agent, then blown into a cylinder shape, cut off and smoothed over, transferred to a lehr using a gadget.

thanks again,had a look at Javier and Efren glass and there are similarities,but can't find the colours,the bubbles are on the in side as if applied after and i thought the subtle fluting type effect on the inside might have something to do with the making,i think it must be my pottery background  because i'm a sucker for the wonky uneven aesthetic...
