Old Greek key & daisy pattern bowl

This looks to be really old.  The daisy pattern continues on the base.  I can't see any maker's marks but will check again tomorrow in daylight.  The nearest I can find to it is Greener.  Am I on the right tracks?

TIA  :)

My wife and I have amber items (jug, goblets, rectangular tray) with a similar motif. The jug shape is similar to Greener items, but none of our pieces has a maker's mark.

Greek key and Daisy has many fathers - it seems nearly everyone made these, including Leerdam, Hoffmann, Nuutajärvi and Greener.

Thank you for your response James and Ivo :)

I've had a really good look but unfortunately can't see any marks which would help identify it.  It appears to have been made in a 4 part mould.  Judging by its barrel-like shape, I'm guessing it might have had a lid of some sort at one time.
