Hi Ed, welcome to the Board.

I have removed your second photo as it was a duplicate of the first. But it would be useful to show a photo of the base of the item as that can often help in ID.

Hi Kevin.

Thanks for the welcome.

I didn't take a photo of the base because there are no markings.

The piece looks similar to Murano's but would like to be sure.

Thanks
Ed.

Hi Ed, welcome from another Scot!  :)

We can tell a lot from looking at "unmarked" bottoms - the way something has been finished off can be very illuminating.
An image of the piece in profile would be helpful too.
Thanks for posting your pics directly to the board and for getting all the resizing sorted, it's very much appreciated. You can put up to 4 images in each posting. Just click on the (more attachments) under the first one after posting it.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
