Welcome to the board. That's not the way it works here. It generally means we don't know and it often takes time for the right person to come along. I don't think it's Murano, more likely Czech, possibly Chribska - but that is purely a guess, but it is where I would start looking. The best place for even more views is on the general board

Could be Murano I guess but my first guess would be Scandi.

This style is very common from Norwegian and Swedish glassmakers, I seem to recall something similar
from a British maker also but can't remember the specifics.

For the used techniques I can say that there are several Murano glassmakers that can be the right ones for this piece. Anyway, may be due to the colour and the light of this glass, I "feel" something not familiar, so my feeling is that it wasn't made here. I have seen similar heavy vessels also in Prague.

Sincerely

Alex

Fairly typical of Chribska, late 50s-60s, and probably something similar still being made by them, but you would need to see their current catalogue. Hand-made mass-production item. I don't do values.
