chamfered  :) or maybe bevel edged or bevelled
I just came across a Lux bowl that reminded me of your bowl but I think Rocco is probably right on the colours they used....sorry, not much of a lead really  :-[

Another name I found for these tiny bevels on the edges of a piece, in the pdf file of London Museum glass terms Christine kindly posted here, is an "arris".

m, I woudn't say Lux glass can be ruled out for certain -> Link to a vaguely similar bowl in a typical colourway

It is just that I haven't come across a piece in this colour so far (and I have seen around hundred pieces from Lux during the last months)
Rarely there is a Lux Glass label on an unexpected item, but usually there is not much variety in colour and shape...
