OK, will try to pull something together that does more than just ask about my piece.

Cenedese were also making these c.1990 - I've got a cobalt blue one with a label... somewhere in storage.

I've also an unidentified one with controlled bubbles throughout.

Both come in at around 50-60cm diameter.

The style of the pontil mark for this one would suggest, perhaps, Cappellin: https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,32868.msg178867.html#msg178867

And I'd say there is a fair chance that Sotheby's '1960-1970' one is 1920s-30s Artistica Soffiera e Vetreria - Baroveri Seguso & Ferro: http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/lot.166.html/2005/the-pauly-collection-of-murano-glass-mi0257# - unless they were later remade by/for Pauly/CVM.

Heireman's Seguso book doesn't cover this design, but it does cover *some* of the convoluted history of CVM and the companies it was an agent for.

Ahh......that might be the answer on the blue bowl from eBay in my first post on this thread.  I did contact the seller to make them aware of this topic on the board.

Thanks for adding to the thread, Nic.  Still trying to figure out the best approach when I contact the museum - I'm thinking just ask what is known about these pieces, and see what they come back with, rather than including anything about what we've already found/discussed.

Found another one in a box!  This one is 34cm (13.5") diameter, and weighs 685g.  Very hard to capture the colour.....it's very pale pink.  16 ribs to the base, wide Wrythen rim.  It has a proper folded over edge that is not completely flat in some places (see picture). 

Unfortunately, water/debris has built up under this folded edge - any ideas how I can clean it, as I can't get anything into the gap?

When we were discussing these pieces, I was so focused on the number of ribs that I didn't consider that there are distinct differences in the finishes on the edges.  The ruby piece has more of a moulded ridge to the rim, the edge on this one is actually folded over, and John's gold one appears more of a flat, unfolded rim.

I will get on and contact the museum about these pieces in the next few weeks.
