This looks like Pate de verre or cast glass to me. It feels familiar but I cannot think of where I've seen them unfortunately.

The first word of the name might be David (Or Daniel but I thought it looked more like David)?

Could it possibly be David Reekie who makes cast glass sculptures with heads?

I think it's David Prytherch (based in Birmingham, UK), see a similar one listed here (https://auctions.fieldingsauctioneers.co.uk/catalogue/lot/5e4e9f62d84614ba1ad0dc31707b6e7e/9b615028af0ce7db085bb45d23efc09c/centuries-of-glass-a-one-day-sale-lot-730/) at Fieldings Auctioneers last year.

Anne that's an inspired find.  And to the OP, you have a very beautiful piece of sculpture.
