Cristalleries de Saint-Louis bowl 1908
Ekimp:
This glass probably hasn’t got much in common with your items ;D but I think it is an example of the transfer resist acid etched method. It has a band of hatched diamonds, the photos aren’t brilliant, but the texture of the diamonds reminds me of that on your bowl.

Interesting.
Adding a close up of the pattern if I can - hmm, no time to resize at mo.
What I was thinking of was how they did the Eglantier pattern from Baccarat and then managed to get the acid etched background around all the small flowers. It's as though the whole design was done in one sweep . The close up on this one is probably a good example:

Ekimp:
That’s nice. Obviously just speculating with the transfer method but the baccarat bowl in your link could’ve been done the same way - do the cameo work, then cover the whole thing with the texture transfer resist, then before etching the texture, paint resist by hand on any areas to be left smooth.

I'm wondering is the coloured cameo design acid etched as well?
This is a good close up of what my bowl is like - not my close up

Interestingly, the Baccarat Eglantier series of toiletry articles appears in the 1916 catalogue 'tafel 16'

I couldn't see my Baccarat bowl there though.
Of course it could have appeared earlier. I'm pretty sure my Saint-Louis bowl is correct in being pattern 630 dating from 1908 catalogue.
