Hi CMCDougall,
                   Thanks for the info, I looked it up, and yes I found it in a book of Millers 2009 Collectables.
Thanks again
Vickie

It could be, but some Czech glass also looks like this. Sommerso is a technique not a maker and has been/is used in several countries. The Chinese are also using this style, although I don't think yours is. Mandruzzato is a possible Italian candidate.

Millers are not always accurate
