Romano Dona - Glass Artist (Murano)
Huge (Just over 2ft tall) vase of blue cased in clear in the form of a semi-naked woman. The lower half is etched, with cut decoration suggesting the outline of a dress. The upper half has been hotworked to create breasts, navel, and the collarbone.
Designed in the late 1990s by Romano Dona for Vetreria Stefano Toso.

Closest match seems to be Romano Donà. He has a biography page on the muranonet website.

Definitely Donà. I've never been so keen on these aquariums, but his work is always to the very highest quality - I've a few of his more sculptural pieces for the Gino Cenedese and Stefano Toso glassworks.

Thanks so much - one question. What glassworks was this aquarium for?

What does the acid-etched mark say? Looks like it reads 'MURANITH Murano Venezia'... but I've never heard of a Muranith so presumably it's a retailer rather than the manufacturer.
Glassworks was probably Stefano Toso - Donà did a few different aquarium sculptures for them.
