Not a Mystery item, as I know the maker.....and it does have a label on it.
Thought I would have a little contest to see IF anyone can figure this out...So try your Luck
Prize:
Winner get an all expensive paid trip to the "ON-LINE site of Collectors Weekly" ......LOL
I thought maybe Murano or Fenton but that might be too obvious. Probably something more obscure like Waterford!
I OFFICIALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT COMES TO GLASS!!
I saw one of these big eyed bird the other day...what did it say...
Let's see..........If it's not the obvious Murano "bullicante" glass then maybe it's Swedish in origin ??
very nice!!

Hint:
The first 4 letters in the name of this glass company are a name of a Place, the last 5 letters (all one word) are *glass*. So there are a total of 9 letters in the name of this company, with the last 5 letters being the word Glass

I would never have thought that "Alta" by itself was a place. Unless it would be something like Alta Vista.
