    I'd love some input from the glassies--Murano, Scandinavian or ?

    It's similar to Mandruzatto pieces, but I can't find anything with this asymmetrical shape. The clear glass is slightly blue, sort of like Strombershyttan. All edges are beveled, and each side has 3 large bevels as I think you can see in the photos. Smooth, clear bottom with age wear.

    3 5/8" square, 3 1/2" tall. Unmarked.

    Those annoying white specks you see are reflection from overhead lights.

    Thanks for your help!

    Classic Murano and probably Mandruzzato. I've had some and the glass is indeed tinted almost.

    Bear - thank you - very close to Mandruzatto but I can't find an example like mine. I've had a few Mandruzatto pieces, but none of them had the pale blue glass. I searched Stromberg but didn't see anything like this.

    I think I've been spelling Mandruzzato wrong. Sorry!

    Ascot, the blue looks like it could be alexandrite/neodymium glass - does it change colour?

    Just blue, I'm afraid.
