Hiya, I'm afraid I can't help with ID, but I've come across this design in several colours over the years. I've included some pics below in hope it helps someone with identification. I've always thought they were probably Murano, never seen one with a label though unfortunately.

Hi Wayne, and alfie Dad:
If I can be of any assistance here (being in Canada) but still a Novice here....here is a good link to AltaGlass that shows some vases they made.

I too am leaning towards AltaGlass for that one -- and maybe some of the others too.
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32444.0.htmlHope this helped some. :thup:
Here is a post of what I believe to be AltaGlass here with that Splattery look to it:
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,18058.0.htmlI think some AltaGlass *may* be brushed off a Chinese sometimes since it seems like more Canadian like to collect it - and does not (maybe) that a bigger audience past North America, I think, IMHO
When you go to antiques shows here - AltaGlass is very pricey. This Fish of mine is identifed as AltaGlass too. At antiques shows here smaller AltaGlass Fish like mine have an asking price of $145.00. Sure, I understand it is a show, and all goes by supply and demand -- but at show AltaGlass does have some $$ behind it. Sure, nothing like Fratelli Toso (in the thousands) but for a small time glass company from years ago in Canada, it might be the dark horse somewhat.
Some pieces I like, so not so much -- but I do have pieces here.
