thank you the pontil marks are rough slighty polished , so pre 1940s do you think possible 1890 / 1910 ?

Mould blown, as expected for Anchor Hocking.  :)

I can't find an example of the exact shape of your posy, but I did find a bit with a label.
This tells us the official name of the colour is Royal Ruby.
They are an old and well established maker.

Hi Sue,
Sorry to have taken so long to reply.
Have enclosed a photo of the base - not sure if it is a polished pontil mark (not well up on this) if so, does that suggest a different maker?
Many thanks,
Marie.

Your photograph of the full inside pattern looks remarkably like the Reijmyre version (1897 page 60 no 2500) as quoted on the info on the link you gave earlier:

However I couldn't spot any other of the footed bowls with a similar construction and the foot on their footed bowls looks different to yours.

That just looks like H V to me.  No 'and' or '&' or 'E' in the middle - though there might be a small circle?
Very interesting piece.

  Thanks for the tip. At least its something, where before I had nothing. The H and V are literally the font I am using now, the & is an assumption on my part it could very well be something else, All somewhat soft and faint I think from fire-polishing.
The possibility that it is an earlier piece did cross my mind. The fact that the small pontil on the base left rough, the overfill on the rim and even the nice applied and shaped ring on the stem does not bring to mind French work c.1840.   another pos of the mark:
