Help ID My Alabastro bird

I have been trying for a number of years to get some sort of ID but so far failed :sign23:so am hoping someone on this site might recognize it.
It stands approx 10" high and has opaline or alabastro bird atop a treestump. The stump has some applied decoration, some of which has gold inclsions and underneath has an indented and polished pontil.
I did wonder if it was a Murano piece? No label or signature.

Looks like a quality piece. I'd be surprised if it wasn't Murano.
PS. It's best to load the photos individually. Difficult to see the detail on the smaller ones.

Re: Help ID My Alabastro bird
My understanding of pate de verre is it's grains of coloured glass that are put in a mould and heated until the particles fuse together.
This doesn't look as though it's been made by that technique, although that might just be the quality of the photos.
