If you search for "Murano aquarium vases" there are lots online attributed to Alfredo Barbini so I'd guess it's OK, but it's best to check thoroughly.

I would be wary, as those fish look Chinese me and one I found on ebay had a matte-ground bottom

I thought the fish looked very Chinese too - and I see one of the lines of cane running up the side on the left has a definite veer off towards the top - which I would not expect to see in Murano.
