Norleans, Japan Green/Gold Glass Vase - Hand painted

Description

Green glass, Gold painted, hand painted scrolling and flowers Gold, light green and pink. Has sticker on the bottom saying Norleans Japan.

I have had this Vase? Urn? for a great deal of years.  It is unbelievable in beauty.   Looks as though the scrolling & Flowers are hand painted.  Minimal wear.. Wondering if it is Real Gold paint ?  it's age, and worth.

The pictures do not do it justice.  It shines!  the scrolls are in a gold, not yellow as pictures seem to show.  the etching of scrolls and such into the gold paint does not show up well..but are beautiful.

History
My mother in law use to travel many countries and come home with lots of nice finds, this was one of them, whether she visited the place that made it, I am uncertain. It's been around 15 years since I had it, and long before that when she "found" it.
