Default Hoping my new piece is murano

Got this ashtray in a shop today and I am hoping it is murano and not chinese. It is about 9 inches across and 4 inches tall. The bottom is ground and polished. What has me worried is one of the curved areas going down towards the center is touching glass while the other two have a space between them and the glass. Thanks for any input.

Yes, your bowl is Murano glass from the mid-century. I do not know who made it, but I am confident it is Murano.
