Hi
I would love to know more about this bowl and have searched on and off but this is the first time I've discovered this place!

Welcome.
You've found the right place, but I'm afraid we do need to see your bit of glass properly.
Thanks for having a very good go at posting your images to the board, but they don't blow up to be very big. We do have a whole load of techie tips and info here,

which might help you to resize your images a little bit better. Your current images do not blow up big enough to see any detail.

A signature or factory mark can be brought up by giving it a little dusting of talcum powder and rubbing the excess off with your thumb - failing talc, flour could be used (but it can go gummy when wet, it's more of a pain.)

We like looking at bottoms here, we always want an image of the base. Even if it doesn't look as if there's anything there, the sort of finish can tell us a lot.

I'm sure somebody will be able to help you identify this - is there a signature there?

Thank you so much for your prompt response Chopin-Liszt! My original files were too large (mini iPad) and the signature was clearly visible but not legible. I used Minima app to reduce the sizes but I don't think it's sophisticated enough.
I'll get back to you guys after Xmas with better quality pics including of the base.
Have a great Xmas and a Happy New Year!

The colour and form look quite Strombergshyttan - ish.

Thank you! I searched Strombershyttan and and found pics of THE bowl.
The signature now makes sense and is Stromberg T587 (9) - I've resized the images and hope they are better.
I've seen it described as saphire blue crystal bowl late 50s to early 60s and that their pieces are difficult to date.......

Looks like it's solved. 
Thanks for the much better pics.
