I am thinking this is (Kamai) Japanese OSAKA glass. Very heavy with foil flakes. When you look at the bottom, there is quite a bit of wear.
Big, and heavy !!
I am drawing this conclusion from these labeled pieces I found via the Net:

Thanks....Do you think I have it Right????????
Yours looks similar to this piece which I posted a while back Rose. Maybe I finally have an ID for mine :

This is definitely Japanese and I would say it's a good bet this is Kamei.
They loved colours like that in the 70s and nearly always threw in some gold!
This was after their hot form period and might even be an 80s piece.
My research shows that depending on the item they would either flat grind or pistil grind the base so either can work.
Nice one!
It is very big and Heavy!! Solid.
I have been leaning that it was Japanese Glass too for quite a while. Seeing those links that are marked look really like a positive ID..... Plus the fact race4four knows Japanese Glass!!
Mike will look at your piece in a bit too!
Beautiful!! Love it!!
