Picked this up the other week from an antiques centre describing it as 'Murano bottle'. I am almost certain that it's an IOW piece however I have not seen this colourway before and can't find anything similar in MH book or on IOW glass collectors website.
Any thoughts and ideas welcome ;D

I suspect you have found an unknown colour combination, so probably experimental.
Everything else looks spot on for IoWSG.
There were different combinations tried, not all went into production.
Well done.
-
How tall is it? Spot on for an attenuated bottle, this club shape tends to crop up in the first few years of production. I keep thinking it might be pink and blue swirls gone wrong, something like too much heat.

It measures 37cm in height. I can see where your coming from, it is very similar to the pattern of 'pink & blue swirls ;D
-
Think that would make it a 'short' attenuated bottle. The pattern is found with other colour combinations too so tricky.
Some shapes to compare.
-
I think I'd prefer to call it experimental rather than a failed colour ;D
It'll go on the shelf and see how long it goes unnoticed from the partner!
Thanks for everyone's input :D

I did notice in some pink and blue swirls the pink colour went green when it was backlit.
