sounds about right.     You wouldn't see this 'multiple ring' appearance through flat glass, so obviously it's an effect produced by the curvature of the glass and the shape of this bowl.     We can see the tooling marks and they don't appear to produce anything like the pronounced multiple rings, which as Ekimp suggests are a reflection of the rim.

Hi, I picked up this engraved Per Lutken for Holmegaard Hellas vase recently which also carries a signature for Yvonne Simpson to the base.  Is Yvonne the engraver by any chance?  Also is the chamfered edge original or restoration?  Description of vase:

"This is a Holmegaard of Denmark tall, engraved Hellas vase, designed by Per Lutken and (engraved) by Yvonne Simpson in 1968. The vase is in excellent condition for its age.  It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 50 years of use.  The vase is blown in Smoke coloured (grey) glass, and is engraved with a naked woman holding the head of a whiskered beast, probably a lion. It measures 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in width at its widest point. It ends in a base which is plain on which are etched the letters "Holmegaard PL 15391 Yvonne Simpson 1968".  The vase is 22.5 cm (9 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.  The outside edge of the upper rim has been chamfered as has the other example of this vase we can find online, so we assume that this dates from manufacture.  It weighs in at 945 g. (~ 2 lb. 1 oz.). "

Kind regards
Neil
