Hi Chris,

Looks to me by the unevenly shaped, ground but unpolished base and stray bubbles to be very recent Chinese.

Hi Chris / Nick.

I agree - it looks like a modern Chinese '$1.00' piece, which is the price provided you take a crate of 300 pieces. It may still be warm from the annealing oven!

Thanks for your help guys, it's one of my favorite pieces of recently acquired glass, it look good enough to eat, i love it, so hopefully it is still warm.
