Please would anybody be kind enough as to share their knowledge or give me some pointers regarding the origin and value (if any?) Of this little bowl.

Hi and welcome to the board.

For some reason it reminds me of a bowl I had which was Spanish recycled glass.
That might be worth investigating.

Welcome from me too. The first pic makes it look a little bit like Makora, which is contemporary giftshop sort of stuff, but the other pics don't.
Interesting. I'm very curious now. :)

I don't think we've found the answer quite yet.
I don't think it's anything very valuable or old, but it's still a bit of hand made glass and as you say, you've grown quite fond of it. It would be good to know what it really is. We don't give up here.  ;D
We'll keep at it, but it may take some time.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)
