am re-posting- after going through my old postings just cannot locate. A translucent rich honey glass encasing white opaque center- circular with an inward turned edge, possibly cigar/ashtray and a slightly domed center. A flat grainy base, showing the layers of glass. 5cm highest point and 14.5cm diameter.
So any body out there have any ideas as to maker?
Summer ??? here in New Zealand but the weather is slightly bonkers-thunder/lightning and down south in Christchurch-HAIL!!
Many thanks for any input-regards Carol

I would immediately classify this as Murano but as to who actually made it I am not expert enough to guess intelligently, so I won't.

Here is the original request: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,33527.0.html (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,33527.0.html) ;D
With that roughly ground base I would think not Murano. Rather China or Romania...

Many thanks Michael for tracking it down- I have seen and owned some glass with rough bases- just ground out to make it flat, this base however appears to have been cut to even it out but then the finish is unlike anything I have come across before, almost as if it has an acid finish. Many thanks for your help. regards Carol
