Title: Whitefriars (bubble bowl) 9099 10"?

Whitefriars (bubble bowl) 9099 10"?

Looks like it is, but the rim doesn't fold back like my smaller ones, so not 100% sure. It has a nice polished pontil (althou not perfectly centered) and is exactly 10" wide. Was hard to take a good pic, hopefully they will do.

As far as I know all 9099 had a very definite inward rolled rim.  The red changes colour in the thinner parts to an orange which is not like Whitefriars who somehow achieved a redred no matter how thin the glass was.  Murano on the other hand usual starts to look orangy as the glass thins.  The other possibility is a Holmegaard/Kastrup design but I have never seen one described.
