It has a Victorian feel to me but I guess it must be quite new  - Any ideas?

Height - 150mm
Width  - 135mm

Can I pass this one by you chaps again, this time I have included a more realistic image as far as the colour is concerned.

Doesn't look Victorian to me. Are the "gold" bits actually gold coloured or are they copper coloured?

Actually copper would be a fairer description. One of the reasons I thought it had an older feel was because of all the  inclusions within the glass.

There's a vast difference. In that case it might be modern Chinese.

Thanks Lustrousstone.

Well, it might be rose-Gold ;) The inclusions I mentioned previously are not the Gold/copper bits but little black and white bits within the glass which I think are called seeds? But I presume these are on  Chinese items too?
