    Recent estate purchase. Unsigned.

    A little hard to see, but it is 8 sided plus flat on the top. Is there a name for this. (Panels?)

    Does this look like a designer or more of a mass produced item? Thanks.

    View from the bottom. Flat, polished base.

    Faceted. Looks decently made. Can you get a shot or two against a black or plain dark background?

    Facets. Thanks, Bear. This was so hard to photograph due to the facets sort of distorting. Was also thinking a bit better made, and can tell you the estate where I purchased this had nicer items.

    I have these pics I took earlier too if helpful. :)

    Very pretty ! When I see that confetti style I automatically think Czech.

    I suspect it's Italian, maybe Toso. Nice weight.

    I thought Italian off the bat too, not that I'm a glass expert. It just "smells" like something they'd do rather than what a Czech might make.

    The flowers are very Italian, as is the shape.
