it looks fairly new to me, it has murines so technically you can call it millefiori, but I think it would be hard to pinpoint the place of origin since many artists use this technique now.
Aldo78, thank you for saying that. I was just guessing. Since I got into Murano for a second before bohemian glassware xoxox
Beware; the Chinese (and others) are pumping out a lot of Murano-type glass these days. I'm not saying this vase is one or the other; but there are a lot of look-a-likes out there.
If you have a "HomeGoods" store in your area, you'll likely see a lot of the Chinese Murano-style offerings. Some look more convincing than others.
It looks modern to me and like it has too much going on with it-- trying to incorporate too many styles/ glass techniques.

LOVE THIS VERY MUCH:)
I believe this is a modern Chinese made vase.
Please be EXTREMELY wary of the seller in the link above.
Although it looks like their local TK Maxx has ran out of stock for them, but they did at one point have loads of Chinese made glass and trying to sell them as Murano glass at ridiculous prices.
Seeing them at antique fairs was just hilarious.
