Nice, but I don't know.
There is a Facebook group that might be able to help and I know that Ross, the moderator, is very knowledgeable about Australian Glass.

Arte Vargas?
Thank you, Collectomaniac nice to know where it came from. Canada is a long way away.
Wow......Gee that Looks so much like Robert Held Art Glass -- See mine:

I've never seen one of these for sale locally 2nd hand. I find his vases here and there and buy the odd one I find splendid. Robert Held hearts (doesn't sign everything) I can find a half doz. or more a year......just never an Arte Vargas (signs everything). I'll pop by his studio 2moro for a look and see what's up with the hearts. I don't recall seeing them last time I was there, but they should be there somewhere I'd imagine. Nice find btw.
Yes great piece!!! When I saw it I thought of my RH hearts. It was what popped in my mind.
See.....I am never too old to learn New things!!! Live and Learn 4 me !!
Thank you all for your nice comments about my heart. There are currently two up on ebay. see link below.
