Elme made a lot of lidded jars similar to this HOWEVER the bubbles are much more uniform - yours are too random. I think it's probably from Empoli (mainland Italy).

I was thinking Empoli, as well. Thank you.

Oh, one more question. I thought it also may be Whitefriars because of the color of the bubbled glass. It looks like the "twilight" color that they used. Has Whitefriars ever produced cased pieces? Thanks for the info. in advance.

Ok. So, it's not Whitefriars. That still doesn't answer my question.

Nope, Whitefriars never produced this style of cased opal glass.

I'm with Pip on this - this shade of rauchtopaz is quite common in late-1970s Italian glass, so most probably hails from one of the Empoli factories.
