Default Pink & green glass bird

Thought it was Murano till it arrived and saw the base would a Murano maker finish something with a ground unpolished base?

The decor reminds me of a labeled, unsigned Mtarfa snail that I have a picture of. I can't post the picture because it isn't mine. I've never seen an unpolished base on Mtarfa, however, so it may just be the same decor in the same colors.

Found a couple of Mtarfa birds at http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEAUTIFUL-MT...#ht_500wt_1284. They aren't the same design as yours, but I noticed the base is not polished. So maybe yours is Mtarfa? (Need a shrug emoticon )
