I also found this pretty bowl, with a Soga Japan label. I don't know anything about Japanese glass, but I thought this was very lovely and reminds me of the Czech glass Borske Sklo Nemo glass, though this glass is thicker. Does anyone know the age? It must be pretty modern.
Pretty colors
Soga is a very old glass company Adele, est. 1907, and still is in the Soga family control.
They make pressed glass table ware, and quite large amounts were exported to the West post war. Their glass is very well made and is often quite conservative in style, but still quite beautiful. They are fond of adding colour to their glass, and some of the older stuff is a bit garish to me. This one is not! It's lovely and is likely a 1980s production based on the sticker.

Thank you for the info racer4racer, I thought it would be more modern than that!
I was hoping Karen would chime in! Very interesting! It is a lovely bowl! I love the iridescent bubbles.
