This is most likely a replica of an 17th ct. passglass sold in museum shops. There are several works who specialise in these: the largest one is Royal http://www.qobchod.cz/ but Bon in Murano also did/does similar things, and there is a smaller Swedish glassworks also supplying that same market.

thanks so much Ivo....i had an idea that they were modern as the color of the glass but always good to check as i am no expert...and far from it.
thanks a lot
