The colours immediately make me think of Blenko. But we don't get much of their glass in the UK, so I don't know if I'm on the right track there..

Hi Chas
Thanks for the idea. I know little about Blenco glass  but after your commment i did research and found that Blenco did not make such heavy glass pieces. They also had a pontil mark showing. I see where the colour seems similar.
This vase is nearly 1Kg in weight and with a well polished base, which is typical of Murano. ?
Thanks all the same.
Norman
