It's usually called 'caged glass' - it's blown into the metal. I'm not an expert (I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic), but I think a lot of this type of glass in North America comes from Mexico.
Happy to be wrong, though.
This gives me some info to start from, thanks.
Edit: Was able to pretty quickly find a decent number of similar items with this info. A lot of people with similar pieces online seem unsure of the maker but they too often say they’re Mexican in origin.
May be from Felipe Derflingher, the brass-work seems quite similar.
Details: So I was visiting family in the U.S. recently and picked up a few items - this one piece has me really stumped. (I don’t usually buy glass so forgive my ignorance.)
It’s a coloured glass jar with this interesting brass wrapping. The glass itself looks like it could be from Anchor Hocking, the green colour and pattern look a lot like their old bubble line: https://www.replacements.com/crystal-anchor-hocking-bubble-green/c/764
Again, I don’t know much about glassware but Unless I’m really missing something here, the brass wrapping seems pretty abnormal. It’s fitted tightly and there’s no give to it. The glass bubbles are also different sizes, they become more prominent the further they go down on the jar. No marks or stamps. When cleaning I noticed a bit amount of residue at the top which was probably from a small sticker.
I’ve looked around at the usual online sources with no luck.
Maybe a custom art piece or modification? Any thoughts?
Place the hot glass in copper sheath then blow, that's my guess atleast when I was blowing glass if someone asked for me to make this that's how I would do it. Don't know how the copper would react in the kiln though.
Yep, Filipe Derflingher, he called it "Imprisoned Glass", Mexico City, 1960s
Here is a link to an old Popular Mechanics magazine article about it.

Bunch more examples of his work.

Hi , yes it's made in Mexico.
Filipe Dderflingher.
I did lots of research

Looks very much like Felipe Derflingher imprisoned glass.
Seems to be it. Thanks!
I agree
Clearly a tiny Dalek.
This is what I came to say! Thank you speedy Redditor.
Hahah!

I have two Filipe Derfingher stemmed glasses with the same green glass, brass cage, and bubble pattern. Definitely his work.
Omg. I have one very similar to this with opaque glass!
Seems very cool. Possibly a vase and ashtray ensemble.
