I am so stuck with the piece.  I feel its Czech but dont know why6. I dont know the shape. I think its hand painted.  Any help would be much appreciated especially the name of the shape. Thanks

sorry forgot the photo.

Well I have had a suggestion of Moser, Murano. Still looking.

It's not Moser. The gilding is not good enough and it would be signed, as this is a 20C piece. Murano seems unlikely as they only seem to gild/silver on the highly enamelled pieces and more conventional shapes. The base doesn't seem right either. Mid-century Czech is a possibility but the gilding and the base seem not quite right. Japan? There is the possibility that the gilding is home applied I suppose.

Closer larger pictures might help.  Also a close up of the gilding, as it's not possible to guess any detail or see any quality from the photograph.
I don't think Czech or Italian with the base as it is.  I think possibly Romanian. 
Also Baijan glass use that shape a lot but I've never seen clear amber with gilding.

I'd say Bohemia - just because I have a bonbon in the same colour and technique, with the same decoration and curly feet. I just don't know which box I put it in so no picture, sorry.

The base doesn't look very midcentury Czech...
I cannot really see it -- is it shiny or slightly matte?
