This type of glass is called pulegoso (the Italian's invented it) and is formed when salts are added to hot glass. Generally sodium bicarbonate is used and it reacts with the glass and releases gas which sets in the glass.
I am sure this vase is mid century Japanese. The style was introduced to Japan by Toshi Iwata but many glass makers copied it. I can't say who actually made this but it would date from the 1950s.
Thanks racer4four. It feels good when somebody knows what I don't know.
Thanks
It's wonderful! :)
Thanks Katherine
