LucasAtko:
Thank you very much for your help. Whereabouts did you find similar sprayed pieces? I've been searching high and low and haven't been able to locate any

catshome:
There's quite a bit of information on the board about Crown Crystal, it might be worth your while using the search function at the top of the page to have a look through older posts.  The link below is to my labelled piece in, what I think is called, fired vitreous enamel finish, which appears to be similar to the finish on your piece, although a different colour and pattern.

There is also a vase on this link that has areas which appear to be very similar in colour to your piece

And a book has been produced which includes some catalogues

Paul S.:
so not a sprayed on paint finish  - but fired enamel?             Pieces that I see, commonly, in charity shops that do have painted finishes, frequently show the paint to be chipping off  -  they don't look to have the same quality as this one  -  but I've no idea as to the origin of painted pieces.

catshome:
I know what you mean Paul......I think those are described as "applied coating", it's more like a film.  I couldn't "easily" scrape off the colour on my bowl.  Not even sure I could if I tried harder, but I'm not going to find out!  So there does appear to be something different in the way the colour is applied, or treated.  I had a quick look on CMOG, but not much help.  Will try again if I get time, but someone else may well have the answer already.

Lustrousstone:
It's fired after spraying. Chance used it on some pieces

I just did a Google images search for Crown Crystal glass
