Definitely not Phoenician, It's most probably a Prachen piece, see here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,22373.0.html

Can we have a bigger picture and closer  (700 pixels for the maximum dimension is usually good) against a neutral background and base shot please.

Here are some of the Phoenecian colours http://www.phoenicianglass.com/downloads/phoenician_colours.jpg (thanks Robbo).

I'm thinking Prachen Glassworks Flora line, which designed by Frantisek Koudelka in the mid 1970s

ID'd in the book "Hi Sklo Lo Sklo" by Mark Hill, page 51 as "Flora" by the Prachen glassworks, designed by Frantisek Koudelka in 1973/74.
