I suspect Japanese. Typical shape and colours, plus the use of the milk glass.
I'll check the book out, but try the British Studio Pottery Mystery marks group on Facebook. There's a couple of people there who are really good...
I don't think it was for music - why the mirror, for one thing? And why the ruffled and rather decorative shelf edges? I'd also check how well...

Deconstructed?
I'd say! ;)

I'll throw in that these are also often made in Spain.
Heh. I like that!
That's a new take on it! ;) This is the usual story: http://www.glassencyclopedia.com/Marygregoryglass.html This is nonsense:...
Can I now grumble about the use of the term Mary Gregory? ;) They're rather nice, those.
