Not Stevens and Williams I believe.

and because I like to take guesses just in case they turn out to be right, I think the lizards on this one have the same enamelled white and red eye and the same enamelled mouth as my bowl. I also think this bowl has flat gilding on the bowl in the same way the butterflies on mine are flat gilded.
So I think it's a distinct possibility they are from the same maker. ( Possibly Thomas Webb  )   :)

This is a Thomas Webb piece in the V&A collection - also enamelled mouth (different enamel this time) and also what appears to be flat gilding on it:

and the jug that goes with the goblet - similar eyes again and possibly similar enamel red mouth to mine.  And flat gilded:

I can't recall if I've added a link to this jug before but the Antique Stourbridge Glass website has a good picture of a Thomas Webb lizard handled jug where the eyes and the mouth are the same as my bowl - red glass on white enamel eyes and the enameled mouth:

Thomas Webb c. 1870 in the Met Museum.
Lots of similarities although this piece has more complex enamelling.

I think my bowl was made at Thomas Webb basically.

I've been looking for something else and came upon the goblet and ewer in the V&A again.

Their description has them as Thomas Webb and 'probably Jules Barbe'.

I queried the possibility of Jules Barbe for my bowl earlier in this thread.
 I feel that is a distinct possibility as the butterflies are beautifully enamelled/gilded.
