This is by S. Reich. The pattern appears to have been inspired by the Sabino design 'Les Oursins', a.k.a. 'Algues et Oursins', but with a few differences.

Pamela has an example on her site here: http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/06561.html

And here's the Sabino bowl Steven meant - I do not know who was inspired by whom

Hi Pamela,

I'm afraid that's not quite the one I meant... I don't think the second bowl is Sabino, just another similar design. 'Algues et Oursins', the one I meant is shown in Ph. Decelle's Sabino Maitre Verrier de L'Art Deco 1878-1961 Catalogue Raisonne; the catalogue number is different for each size, but the largest one (& the only size illustrated) is 9008 (35cm diameter). Unfortunately I don't have a photo, but a couple of sizes are still being made & can be seen in the current Sabino catalogue here:

As to which came first, I don't know the dates of introduction of either, but the Sabino version certainly appears to have been in production by 1931 as the 1931 price is listed in Decelle.
