Thinly blown , footed yellow bowl with white enamel rim .

Baked_Beans:
Hello , I think this could be Murano and am interested to know the approximate date and possible maker please . It glows orange under uv light which I believe indicates cadmium.  It's 3 inches tall and 5.5 inches at it's widest point . There are three thin bands of white enamel to the rim, foot and bowl . It has a snapped off pontil scar to the base of the bowl . Thanks for looking .

flying free:
That's gorgeous.  I think also that it's Murano glass. I love the white enamel bands around it.  Very stylish!

The way the stem is applied is very similar to a bowl I have that someone thought could be Czech but I'm still convinced my bowl was made in Murano.

Baked_Beans:
Thanks very much M ,

MVM Cappellin made a footed bowl very similar in shape and having the three bands of enamel but the stem is a slightly different shape to mine . It's in the MVM Cappellin glassworks book by Marino Barovier and Carla Sonego . It can be seen on page 101 , middle shelf to the right ( 1927 , Rome exhibition) and on page 539 as a drawing / pattern number 5694 . It's so so close and yet so far ! This yellow one has no signature of course  .

I think you are on the right track Mike, as far as I could tell these two are Murano circa 20/30s and have that little disc added between stem and foot.

Baked_Beans:
Thanks John, I see what you mean about the disc at the join of the foot . It makes a very neat join !  I had a look through the book and couldn't find your examples but they have something very similar to your pair of vases with the same join and shape of foot . The bowl is more trumpet shaped rather than a straight cone like your examples. 
The different Murano firms copied each others designs with subtle differences , that's the problem  :)
