Dear Ross,

first thoughts search against " Incalmo glass " and try that....Vistosi et al played in this way.....worth a deeper dive.

kind regards

Andrew

Just searched "Incalmo" on google, could it be by Tapio wirkkala? It looks very similar

The bottom looks 'wrong' for the Venini-Wirkkala range, there shook be quite  pronounced kick up base, plus I've yet to see an unsigned example, but I could also be wrong  ??? 8)

The vase is very small measuring nearly 11cm high and is very delicate fine glass, would this be a reason why it is not signed?

As far as I am aware, there were 5 bottles in this series. There is one very similar to your, but only two colours, straw yellow & red, and measuring 7" (17.78cm) high & 7.25" (18.4cm) diameter.
So I guess it isn't signed because it isn't Venini-Wirkkala  ??? IMHO

Small and lightweight, could be lampworked, heat struck colours?

Photos are a bit on the small side, longest side around 700 pixels usually works well.
