HI Artislove
This type or style of glass is known as Argento either, Gold or Silver is blown through the glass as it is shaped. I can't really tell from the pictures but it may possibly be Avventurine which is Copper filings are included during its construction. A stunning piece none the less. The overall shape is known as a MEIPING which is modelled after a Chinese / Korean style of pottery
