From the estate of a family that traveled extensively to Italy during the mid century, so undoubtedly a Murano piece. The swirl and ruffle in blush pink glass are sweet and elegant. Hand Blown bubble glass, "Pulegoso" style.

Pulegoso: (Italian, from the dialect word pulega, “bubble”) Glass containing numerous bubbles of all sizes, produced by adding bicarbonate of soda, gasoline, or other substances to the melt. The bubbles make the glass semiopaque and give the surface an irregular texture. Pulegoso was developed by Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892-1977) on the island of Murano, Italy, in the 1920s.
