It's hard to tell what you have without a history of how you acquired it, when it was originally bought, stickers, makers marks, etc.
However, it resembles a ruby red Westmoreland glassware.
The color could also be referred to as a "sang-de-boeuf" (ox blood), but this color is usually restricted to describing chinese porcelain glazes in use by the Chinese from the 11th century, and the effect was achieved by using copper oxide as a coloring agent.
An interesting thing about your glass ware it it's shape. Shaped and decorated like a ritual libation cup which the chinese usually carved out of a Rhino's horn, is perhaps a clue that the glass either has an Asian origin or inspiration. Its probably a flower vase judging from it's weight.
My estimate for this glass ware is $15 (based on information available, condition and collection value).
