Hi and welcome to the GMB. I can't tell you what it is, or who made it, but it definitely isn't so-called "end-of-day" which is such a misused and inappropriate term. It looks like Studio glass (individually made), slumped and fused. It may be a matter of waiting until somebody recognises the technique. Sorry I can't help further

It's not slumped or fused; it has a pontil mark

You might want to check for a sig under different light conditions, it looks like a top piece and might just have a very faint one.

Thank you all!

I will have another look for a signature and I am off to google some glass making terms. We are new to appreciating glass and have a lot to learn.

We had another look, but no signature.
