Hi SD, welcome to the Board. I have removed the two duplicate images that you posted.

As for ID etc, personally I have little idea about weights like this one. The design is basically a simple coloured interior into which a tool has been poked in various places to create air bubbles when the clear outer layer has been added.

Somebody may recognise the style, but it could be from almost any studio in almost any country.

Hi.  It looks very modern to me - might well be Chinese or Czech Republic, produced in fairly large numbers for export and use in the tourist trade.

Mod: Duplicate post removed and Alan's reply added to this original.

I forgot to add the new base photo during the merging of posts. Now added to original post above.
