Anyone know glass? Took a chance...

Picked this up at a thrift store today...I don't like to deal much in glass stuff as I know nothing about it.

For some reason this stupid bird kept drawing my attention.

It wasn't much of a gamble $15 but trust me I dont need more crap in my house so I don't know if I should of bought it.

Stands about 12 1/2" tall and 6 lbs.

Any input?

Almost looks like a Formia piece. I'm not that well versed with Murano glass though. It could just as easily be a knock off made in China. I joined this forum- Murano Glass Forums - Powered by vBulletin a while back to help me id my pieces.
