I had this green glass vase with very similar treatment. I made a Venetian glass attribution in the description but without anything to confirm...

The pattern is sometimes called "strewn flowers" - Streublümchen in German.
Wow! "Gigantic item found by a metal detectorist is among recent finds in England and Wales reported to archaeological authorities." Does make...
