This is a blown glass flower vase. The country of manufacture and the artist are unknown, but it is a very well-made glass work. The bubbles and molding are reminiscent of works like those by Shinzo Otani of Kurashiki Glass or Ryukyu glass, but it doesn't seem to be either. The design of the "ears" incorporates details seen in Italian Venetian glass. Condition: In good condition with no cracks or chips. Please check the photos for details. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or do not understand handmade items. Venetian Glass Murano Glass
