With Anne's very kind help in posting pics for me, I wonder if anyone could direct me on where to look for information on the maker of this bowl please?  any help very much appreciated.
I have had it a long time, and although my leaning is more contemporary glass, I fell in love with it.
It's pressed and it appears to be in 4 parts? Please excuse my terminology ;D
Incredibly pretty with a banding of matt (satinized?) flowers (anemones?)and leaves around it.
thank you for any ideas on where to look.
Oh I have been through Pamela's wonderful site with a fine tooth comb - I found some other pieces I have but not this one - thank you Pamela.

just a gentle bump for my fruit bowl  :)  I haven't got it to hand but at a guess it's about 8" tall by 8" diameter so quite large and very heavy probably weighing around 3lb or 1.5 kg.
Just hoping someone may recognise the pattern perhaps and thank you for looking.

bump
   The foot is polished flat round the rim and bevelled so has the stem and foot been hand applied/finished?.  Also against the black, whilst you can't see it just by looking at it, the stem looks a slightly clearer colour than the bowl I realised.  I'll upload some more pics in a mo and if anyone recognises it I'd be grateful  :)
thanks

Are these Poinsettia and therefore probably USA ? Just guessing, sorry  :-\

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak out and remove all doubt. (unknown)

Hi Pamela :) thank you for looking and for your suggestion.  I will have a look at American Glass although I know absolutely nothing about it  :-\
The poinsettia suggestion is very apt as I use this bowl only at Christmas.
many thanks
