Hi Peejy,
If ca. 31-32cm wide it´s a 50´s WMF Colora methinks. They also come in a triangular shape.
Few examples on ebay.de:
here
Cheers,
Dirk

Hi Dirk...it's actually 27.5cm wide but I have looked at the link, you kindly provided and it definitely looks the same. I noticed there is a variation on measurements on some of the othe WMF bowls listed.  :-\

I´ve only handled the triangular ones so far; the oval ones seem to escape me.
Let´s wait a while. Perhaps we´ll find a labelled one with your measurements later or
someone will provide us with further information.  :)
