No, this is missing several of the basic characteristics, Jon. It may be from Murano but would be much quicker to produce than going for the full 'Bizantino' effect. So that would indicate a lower priced item and possibly a later date and possibly not by the 'original designer' (AVEM). Some of the techniques are possible Murano, (see terminology above).

You should post your bowl as a new question with a separate New Topic, please.
