Continuing that line of thought .................................… 
looking at page 112 in Cottle where he reproduces page 11 of Sowerby Pattern Book IX (1882)  -  the second item on the top line appears to be design 1569, and shows what looks like a two handled sugar basin, with three horizontal lines of banding - similar decoration to the piece here.         

Sowerby pattern Nos. 1568, 1569 and 1582 (I think) - appear to be a small 'suite' of open sugar basins  -  and what links all three is the decoration in the form of multiple rows of horizontal banding, plus they all appear to have opposing short handles as shown on the piece here.

Turning back to Cottle's main text, he appears to list this three piece 'suite' of sugar basins as Rd. Nos. 362734/35/36 Sowerby Rd. Nos. - is it possible that factory item 1569 which could match the piece here - is either Rd. 362735 or 362736?         All thee separate patterns were Registered on the same day.

I'm pretty sure that this [sugar] bowl is Sowerby pattern 5005, shown as such with a matching creamer in their pattern book XV of 1895.

It is from Sowerby's RD 355157 of 14 September 1880- Parcel 1. The design representation shows only the overall shape without any surface decorative details.

I haven't seen the bowl (or the creamer) in clear glass before, but I have seen the bowl in blue marbled glass, and bowl and creamer in purple marbled glass too.

glad an id found eventually.       A strong similarity of shape and decoration to those patterns mentioned earlier - perhaps they reused the mould.

The three horizontal bands of decoration can just be seen on the edges of the bowl in the drawing, which helps with the id.

Many thanks to everyone re the strong  ID that it’s Sowerby. I am still trying to get a decent tracing form the mark which is on the inside at the bottom of the bowl but it’s so faint.
Regards
