coloured art glass isn't really my area, but I get the impression that this fractured/fissured decorative effect must have been popular between the two world wars  .........   I see that the Scottish Monart appear to have made use of it, and believe those pieces are referred to as 'Cloisonné', but not certain.
Not quite sure how the name of an intaglio enamelled process on metalwork transfers to glass, but there's no end to peoples' inventiveness. :)

Am sure I've also seen a similar decorative effect on some big name Continental makes, but can't remember names now.

M, have looked all through the file, some interesting looking shapes around page 188, thanks again for looking both, now where can it go ?  ::) ;D ;D

Well we don't know yet that it's not English.  The rim is quite distinctive.  Have you had a look in Gulliver?
But perhaps would sit well with your Kralik or Bohemian pieces ?
