The shade of red and the type of pontil mark are much more typical of Japanese glass

I will try and get better base pictures in good light but i agree the shade of red looks a bit modern it maybe the poor lighting on these pictures thank you for your time  :)

Japanese glass is no more modern than Czech or Whitefriars glass...
