I have had this for quite a while and it has always been kind of a puzzle to me. It stands about 5.75 inches tall and is 3.5 inches in diameter. The walls of the vase are .625 inches thick. It has a lot of age wear underneath, and appears to me to be 60's. The inner vessel is amber, with a clear exterior and the threading is green. The top rim appears to be a factory polished rim, and not a cut down. It was presented as Murano when I bought it, but I have always had my doubt as the threading on the exterior does not strike me as Italian. I am now wondering if it is Czech.
Looking for opinions, as it has me stumped.
As always, TIA

This reminds me of a piece Marcus once owned that was designed by Jiri Šuhajek for Moser. I don't know if this is by the same designer/factory but it might be a good point to start searching. Hopefully Marcus will see this thread and comment.

funny you should say that Pip as i was just comenting to jon that it may be the piece on page 59 of mark Hills hi sklo lo sklo book which i was thinking of and thats Suhajek for moser, completly different shape but has a similar amber colour with green strapping (although a lot finer). I will keep looking just in case there was something else
