Looking for help identifying this piece of glassware. Apothecary Jar possibly?

Hi cbern, welcome to the Board.

Your image is too small to see detail. You are permitted up to 125Kb per image and a 700 pixel size for the longest dimension would give a good image for detail.

Hiya. Strange shape, but certainly no apothecary jar which are not usually found with garish gilding and enamel.

It is a decorative glass from Bohemia (90%) or Italy (10%) in a technique the Italians call "terzo fuoco", three times fired. It is made in three operations, hence the name.

There were - and are- many companies using this technique and they are fiendishly difficult to attribute.

Thank you Ivo for the info!
