Gilead — It's actually pressed glass, made in a mould, embellished with a little light engraving on the diamond pattern.

Unfortunately I don't recognise the pattern, so can't help with attribution.   However it is a pedestal sugar, usually sold with a matching pedestal cream (jug).

Bernard
             Thank you for letting me know that its a sugar Glass and not a small fruit Bowl. How can you tell if it's pressed and not cut glass, i can not see any joins, on it so thats why i asked if its cut or not, i have heard that if you flick the rim with your nail and it rings this means it could be crystal, any truth in this please.

Here are two more photo's i hope will help in finding the age and whom made it,
                                                                                                          regards

Sorry its a nudge again got to buy more books i think, the glass is piling high quickly, so got to think of some display units as well, also am moving soon, so bubble wrap, best place to buy some in bulk, also good width needed,

I buy bubble wrap from Staples, on a big roll, industrial style.   :)

I'm worried about you disappearing under a huge avalanche of glass soon!  Take it easy and don't buy too much glass at once!   :D :-*
