Hi Sharron,
the unpolished base makes me think its more recent, probably Eastern European,
its often said on here that leaving the base unpolished is a bit lazy, and typical of
later glass from this area. Also china and far East, but nice shape and form, makes me think
European.
IMHO  ;)

Ivo ? do you think im on the right track?

Cheers
