well, this is an odd thing
two years earlier than the one Mike found which sold in 2006, this one was sold in 2004 apparently as  'Webb'
It is marked - is this a fake mark? I think so from checking marks.

That wasn't mentioned on the one sold in 2006 - not to say it's not the same piece, but they could be different pieces.  It's difficult to be sure because the pics are from a different angle.  If they are, then that's two footed bowls in the decor.
The listing Mike found is here - it is the same height

Looking at the first one sold in 2004 you can see through it to the other side and the pattern seems to match that showing on the one sold in 2006, so I think they might be one and the same piece.  Perhaps the owner found out the mark was fake and that it was Bohemian and so it was resold as such (mark not mentioned in listing in 2006).

I was very excited to find this reference this evening.

It will disappear in time as it is a chromolyth being sold on Ebay but it is listed as:#

Name of Print - Ornamental Glass
Date - 1863
Source - Masterpieces of Industrial Art and Sculpture
By - J B Waring, engraved by John Day

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1863-Antique-COLOR-Print-ORNAMENTAL-PAINTED-GLASS-Belgian-Exposition-/330873099532?pt=Art_Prints&hash=item4d0992d50c

I believe I can just make out at the bottom of the print, that it says
Glass by W Hoffman Prague

The red cameo piece in the chromolyth is similar in subject depiction to two Karl Pfohl pieces in Glas des Historismus one on page 194 and the other page 193.
The Chromolyth dates to 1863 :)

It is reprinted in the Harrach book page 198 (From Neuwelt to the Whole World) and captioned Glass by the Wilhelm HOffman Company at the Great London Exposition 1862 but is quite small and dark.

Baked_Beans:
That earlier auction listing you found (well spotted !) of the one I found certainly looks like the same piece . As you say the pattern matches on the other side . Unless some sort of pattern template was used , I think you can say it must be one of the same item. They may have decided to photograph it from the other side (second time around) so that it looks like a different piece.

yes I think it's the same piece.

I'm going to the V&A on Tuesday to photograph glass :)
I shall be photographing some pieces very closely this time. 
Can't wait.
