Hi, my first posting on this forum. A recent purchase from Melbourne, Australia. It's a pressed glass punchbowl with circle, dot and diamond patterns forming a very symmetrical design of flowers. It's got the appearance of Iitala but I don't recognize the pattern. Any help identifying its origins would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, welcome to the board! :)
Your bowl is Czech actually, designed by Adolf Matura for his "Praha" tableware range, around 1970.

Thank you Michael. It is very satisfying to get some of the puzzle pieces in place. I will now try to find out a bit more about this maker and the design. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. Cheers Pol
