Impulse buy!  I just thought it was so bizarre that I had to have it.  I didn't think it would be all that hard to find information on it since it's so unique.  It's 8 inches tall and I can't find any marks.  I think it's English...well, I think, to be more/less precise, it's not American.  Any ideas?  thanks ~  :D

Unlikely to be British, as I have never seen anything similar, unless it was only made for export.

Thanks for looking Bernard.  But dang, if it's not English and it's not American... :cry: I'm at a loss!  Someone suggested Czech, but I am not at all familiar with pressed glass of Czech origin.  This darn bowl thingy is haunting my dreams. :?

Anonymous:
Is the bowl attached to the pedestal or are they separate. The pedestal looks like lampwork and as such could have been made separately and possibly later.

The photo is a bit decieving, sorry, I should have pointed out that it looks like the base is sitting on three legs with open spaces between, but it's all solid glass about 1/4 inch thick with the handles and legs and feet about an inch thick.  It looks like a three part mold.  I've put it under UV, (just cuz) and it has a pale yellow/green reaction, I think indicates non-flint glass?  Looks like a daisy and button pattern with ribbing on the top rim and at the base of the bowl.  Thanks for looking!
