can anyone help me with identifying? It's light purple double square textured glass on stand. On both sides there are inclusions, I guess art with copper wires and other things. Looks like dry leaves. In between squares there is, I guess, test-probe. So together it might make kind of vase. About 6-1/2'' high. Anyone knows maker, age, anything? Thanks

Welcome to the message board. Your "thing" looks like a bud vase. It was made by fusing/slumping the purple bits with the wire, etc. (not dried leaves, they would burn up) in a mould in a kiln and then gluing the components together. It was probably made by a local craftsperson, as it's done in a small electric kiln
