The shape looks to be PC according to this.

Sizes made seem to be off but on the variants page,says proportions vary.

Hi.
I think you have found its shape.Thats much appreciated.
It’s 11mm shorter than the 9”

And the glass is finely blown, towards the base. 
It sounds like they just didn't pick up a big enough gather for the initial embryo, which would explain the size.
Is there a subtle iridesence on the surface?

[fatbelly]

There is a an slight iridescent finish to the surface at certain angles.
I have a Monart powder bowl in blue and purple with a whispy white interior.Colours are virtually exactly the same which is interesting too.

Monart. Absolutely.

Possible colour 42b.

To put the cat amongst the pigeons I don't think this is Monart - yes it is / or similar to a Monart shape, but the base is wrong and the colours seem wrong to me and it looks too glossy / shiny.
Lets see if any of the experts come along...... 

can you post a picture of the Monart bowl in the similar colours?

[chopin-liszt]

We've already discussed that - the shininess is an artifact of the lighting and photography and we think that the initial gather may have been a bit small so it ended up a bit thin towards the base. It did happen, they had to make do and invent their ways around many major difficulties they encountered.

The colour of the powder bowl is 42b as seen in the link below.If you compare them they look almost identical bar the crackle and the merging of the colours during the blow if that makes sense.

One of the Monart Gary’s normally comment and or Frank but I’m open to whatever suggestion as my OP suggests the base put me off the Monart attribution originally so thought poss Czech or other.

I want to hear from them too. I was unsure to start off with, but the discussion and the dull iridesence convinced me.
But now, we've got Roberta...
