Large Pressed Bowl

[Gilead]

Hi
   Could any one please identify this large Bowl it stands 6.5ins high 10ins long and 8ins wide, weighing in at 2kg 730g which in old money is, 6lb & 1/4oz the pattern seems to be an X inside a square lines either side running equal round the bowl and a ridged top, hope my discription  is good,enough for you to help inputting an age and may be a maker of this fine piece of glass,

Steve, is it crystal or is it pressed glass?  It doesn't look very old from the pattern and shape - I'd be thinking somewhere between 1930-1970, which would rule out Greener or Edward Moore. I have some glass with this X shaped pattern but without the dividing gadroons.  It could be continental rather than English.

Yes you are right Anne pressed so got it right in the subject post first time, me again clutching at straws. very heavy though.

Thanks Sue
                  have had a really good look but cant find some nice tumblers there though which will be nice to have a whisky out of, and some nice wine glasses looks like i will be buying again but to use this time not to look.
