Very nice. They look like they are from an independent glass studio or artisan. The base has been ground so it will set flat. The base color is the milky white to which the purple or wine color has been mixed in and the inside has colored glass added as well. The edge was dipped in the darker colored glass. All seems to have a degree of irridization added, which has become popular with studio production over the past 40 years.
Any label on these has probably been long ago removed and you haven’t found any markings etched on them anywhere?
They do look very nice, and as the others have suggested, they do look like open shells.
Thanks for sharing them with us. :)

This appears to be “cased glass” and very good quality. Do a search on Murano cased glass and you will see quite a few pieces and some that are in the clam shell shape.

Not an expert on glasswear, but looks like mother of pearl shells. Jewelry, knickknacks, ornamental items & other such products often have mother of pearl accents. Usually made in south Asian countries, China, Philippines, etc.

It’s definitely made in Asia early 1960’s – 70s…that conch piece was popular amongst tourist shoppers before trade markets were in full force. Looks fab!

Hi
looks pretty, almost like it has a shell appearance if I am seeing right.
Don’t know what it might be or who made it.
Good Luck.

What color is the inside, it looks kind of carmel-like but can’t tell for sure. It’s way cool!
