Hi bat20,
Thanks for the link!
I have already researched a lot the possibility of it being Novy Bor but found nothing similar. I also researched the possibility of it being Pauly & C. - Compagnia Venezia Murano with the same result and thats why I turned to the forum for advice.

I just found this topic with the same fish and it looks as it has been identified already. I am now wondering if it is possible to find the original topic where it was identified.

I have also just found this piece by Rene Roubicek with label of Pauly & co . It seems that his glass was exhibited and sold in Pauly & C showroom in Venice and that explain why this piece is signed Pauly.

It appears in the 1969 catalogue with code number 7545.   I don't know about the Roubicek -Pauly link though.

Rather gorgeous piece.

Boba talks here of Pauly & Cie stocking Czech glass in the 70s etc:

Hi flying free!
Thanks for the link!
That also confirms to some extent that Czech glass was offered at Pauly showroom and explains why my piece has it to the base.
I was confused at the beginning with that Czech & Murano combination.
Yes it is a gorgeous piece and at white background you can see a sommerso technique used.
