Help with slag glass maker, anyone?

I was thinking that this was an Imperial bowl, but maybe it is Fenton. Does anyone recognize it? Also, any idea of the value? The $100 is a random number until I find out.
Thanks!

Could it be Murano glass? Not sure.

Looks Italian to me also at first glance. No polished pontil on the bottom?

I could be wrong, but it doesn’t look like any Fenton or Imperial glass pieces I have ever seen.
It is a lovely piece of cased glass, though!
It could be Murano/Italian, although there are alot of fake look-a-like pieces out there, or could be one of those pretty studio art glass pieces that remain a mystery.

Thanks for all the answers! I am getting lots of votes for Murano, and my soon to be glass expert friend told me that it is indeed Murano, and that he has owned a piece like it before. He says it would not be referred to as slag glass. He called it Murano Arti or Arte Lavorazione.
Here I go to fix the listing!
Thanks everyone. Someday I will learn something about glass!
