Hello
I have a red cut crystal bowl that I was hoping that someone could help me to identify the maker and whether this is a modern bowl or something older.  How would I be able to tell the age? Is it Bohemia?   Let me know what other information you need.  Attached you will find some photos. 
It measures approximately 16 1/2 cm wide and 6 cm tall. 
Any help would be appreciated!

Wear would be the main indicator of age and the style is still being produced. Lovely piece.

It looks new-ish and anything recent would probably have originated from Ajka in Hungary.
