    Made from 4 sheets (2 each) of 2 different blue/white slag glasses. 2 sheets on the inside, then 2 wrapped around the outside, overlapping. Assuming this is some kind of studio piece? Any ideas or impressions other than that?

    10" wide at the widest point
    6" tall.

    I can't add much, but these are sometimes called HANDKERCHIEF vases or bowls...

    It reminds me of Akro Agate items, but not sure it is.
    Any markings on it at all? Perhaps a tiny crow for a marking?
    Hope someone else comes along who knows for sure.

    Love the color.

    To me it looks like a slumped shape with two pieces of sheet cathedral glass. Probably hobbyist as there were craft operations selling supplies and providing electric kilns to do that in the 1990s.

    Interestingly, it's actually 4 sheets layered together, 2 fused together to form the taller inner layer, and 2 more to form the shorter outer layer. The two sheets on the "left" are one color of glass, almost completely opaque, and the two sheets on the "right" are a different color, translucent, with some opaline-ish colors when held up to the light. From a distance, in indirect light, hard to tell the difference, but it's definitely two completely different types of glass.
