Actually I've just seen (but now can't find) another bowl that I am pretty sure is that shape without prunts and feet ( I know...lots of makers bowls look similar  ::) ) and was Stevens and Williams, which would tie in with the lion prunts on the Caerleon pieces as Sue mentioned.
I will have a search in that direction again and see if anything might tie the engraving to them.

I'm not sure where this identification comes from but this one appears to be the same maker Leni and is identified as Thomas Webb.
For future reference this one has four feet with the lion prunts on each curled foot, 6 1/4" tall by 4" diameter, polished pontil mark,similar ish  shape to Leni's but taller and bigger, dragonflies, ferns etc engraved.

Id for my above post possibly comes from a piece in  Charles Hajdamach's 20th Century British Glass age 172 plate 148.
Which shows a round fat  jug with the scroll feet and lion head prunts 'Probably designed by James O'Fallon at Thomas Webb and Sons, 1870s.'
This'll be it

The jug is also engraved with dancing ladies butterflies and a large dragon fly type thing.  Was in the Michael Parkington collection.
