This work probably dates to the late 19th early 20th century. Origin is undetermined but I am confident that it is European possibly French. The core is formed with a white ground decorated with splotches of red and blue frit. It faceted and bevels on four sides with, tapering to the top and brought to a faceted point at the crown.
