Hi and welcome!  :)

Could we please have clear images against a white background, of the whole piece; the base, showing how it is finished off;
the rim and any marks. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what you've got! :)

ps oopsy-me You've modified your post to add the image while I was posting... ;D

Again, we don't discuss valuations here Joe.
Anything is only worth what somebody else is willing to pay for it. That depends on who has it, how it is advertised, who the audience is, how much they know, how much spare cash they have, how much they want it etc. etc. etc.
The best way to get an idea is to find something the same at auction and watch to see what it sells for. Then consider the under bidder's price - because you've already lost the high bidder from your audience.

We're just interested in the glass itself here.

Don't worry about having done it - you're new!

I think this is just a very contemporary decorative thing. You might well see similar in TKMaxx.

Hi Joe - I live on the Murano part of this site but welcome all the same. I bought a similar piece from the UK as it had many aspects of A. Seguso, it was only when I opened the box that the doubts flooded in. It is nicely made glass and attractive. My guess is eastern European but not old, maybe in the last 5 years. Well worth keeping as a vase and better made than a lot of glass out there.

regards

Ardy
