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  :-\

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

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:
http://www.sabinoartglass.com/proddetail.asp?pid=229
http://www.sabinoartglass.com/proddetail.asp?pid=233

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.

Whilst wading through catalogues looking for trinket sets I found a drawing of what appears to be the Reich bowl referred to by Stephen above, on page 13 of the 1939 Riihimaki pressed glass catalogue. It is shown as pattern 6263 - the catalogue may be viewed online here (as a PDF) http://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/archiv/pdf/pk-2003-1w-11-mb-riihimaeki-1939.pdf.

Has anyone any thoughts as to why it may be there, or where I may view the Reich 1934 catalogue entry referred to on Pamela's site please?  I do like a good mystery!

A very interesting find: didn't know that Riihimaki also made this pattern. I can't seem to find the bowl it in the Reich 1934 catalogue scans (I'm in a rush so may have missed it) but the pattern is certainly shown in the 1936 Reich catalogue available at www.glas-musterbuch.de (it's shown at the bottom of Tafel 7, catalogue number 8779).

Edited to add: Also in the 1934 catalogue as per the information on Pressglas-Pavillon.de : Tafel 69, no. 8779

Stephen, thank you, I'd forgotten about checking on Pamela's Musterbuch site!

It's a shame that the Riihimaki catalogue has no sizes for comparison. It is dated 1939 though.  The bowl is given as 100mm in the 1934 Reich catalogue.

Antoinette, could you tell us what the diameter of your bowl is please?
