I wasnt too worried about this bowl, but its bugging me now!
It reminds me of the pictures of the Housewife of the 1950s in her new modern kitchen, which she never left, flowery chintz skirt, making dinner for the Hubbie in his suit, pipe and slippers 2.4 kids, maybe thats what made me think English.
Now im thinking its a very good quality piece of glass, and could be 30s or 40s.
I will keep looking,
any other suggestions of origin, welcome

Cheers
Andy
