Finally with camera around and new computer I can post some pictures.  These gorgeous bowls arrived last week.
About 5" wide and 2 1/2" high and fairly hefty, not lightweight.
These appear to match the description in Gullivers Victorian Decorative Glass page 204,top picture, although my 'eyes' and trails look more green than those in the picture.
To be perfectly honest, without this being id'd in Gullivers I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this and my Stuart 'eyes' and trails. The difference seem to be created by the shape of the rim once the prunt had been applied distorting the prunt shape, but other than that I would say not much difference between them in design or quality. My Stuart has a more yellowish green surround with a jade green central eye, but I think Stuart also did all green prunts. 
Anyway,pics below

thanks :)
they are in excellent condition, look like they've never been used.
I have another amber one with threading that's also pretty, but weight wise it's much lighter than these, polished pontil mark as well but still feels a whole different quality by comparison.
