    My friend really, really wanted me to buy this as he was convinced that it was old Venetian Glass. What it looks like to me is a museum reproduction of a Pompeii glass vase, but I'll leave it up to you guys. It is small at 5 1/2 inches and slightly lopsided and the rim is irregular. Old Venetian Glass or museum souvenir or something else? You know your comments are always invaluable to me.

    I appreciate the link. Thank you. I didn’t believe it when I bought it. I have seen such at museum exhibits about Pompeii but I wanted to make sure

    Great. A lead. I was almost positive a reproduction but he was so certain

    That second one has wonderful information. I had to look up those places, as I had never heard of them (I apologize for my American's lack of world geography). Makes it far more interesting. A reproduction using old techniques is as close as I am going to get to the real thing.
