I presume:
Mdina: No!
Murano: No!
It looks like a modern Czech/Bohemia or "Thüringen/Bayrischer Wald" Paperweight ( second half of 20c).

I have yet to see a Mdina PW in those colours, and although I have a couple of unsigned Mdina weights, none has such a crudely finished base.

Hi

I don't think this is Mdina. I would vote for Indian.
