Thinly blown bowl / candle holder with wide flat rim, greenish-grey glass, small polished pontil mark, decorated with one big murrine in red and blue.
Diameter 17.5 cm, height 8 cm.
The holder for the candle came loose when I cleaned the wax out, it was just glued on.
My research showed that this style was used by Ermanno Toso in the 1950s:

but also by Pietro Pelzel / Lino Tagliapietra for La Murrina in the late 1960s:

The overall shape and the style of the murrina looks more like the Tagliapietra pieces...
Any more info highly appreciated as usual :)
