Hi -- all I know that *I think* it is called a Flower Frog???  To hold several flowers....that might be a start.  I will see IF I can find anything, but my suggestions are scary  :o :24:  ;D

Patience please, it's barely 12 hours since you asked!! I don't know the answer though.

Steve — I don't usually clutter topics with don't knows, but, judging from the multiway adaptor on your window ledge, you're British, so I will say that I've been dealing in British glass now for close on twenty years now and I've never seen one before.

If you will invent new patterns what do you expect?

Start at home with Sowerby, as that flower holder looks like a smaller version of the one on this uranium green set (blue glass doesn't usually contain uranium, Steve  ;D ):-

    Looks like a 'mariage' to me - esp. in the second photo there seems to be a mismatch?

    Can we see a picture of the bowl's base, please?

    I've got an amberish pink vase of the same pattern and design, still unidentified. It's colour, however, is somehow 'czech-ish  :pb:

    And a picture of the topside and the underside of the flower block - all against a plain white background. Background clutter makes it really hard to work things out.

    This is my a.m. vase and its base. Third photo shows it together with a probably Rindskopf? white vase - designs are at least related  :-X

    to quote Pamela from yesterday.......'designs are at least related'     -  are they?   sorry, maybe I don't see too well Pamela - but the decorated 'band' appears different in each :huh:  - although the style of rim appears to be the same, and the broad panels are similar.   Would you consider the clear piece be a 'celery' rather than a vase?  -  I'm only speculating.
    Lest anyone be unsure, my flippant comment about the white background was just a little humour.    The recommendation from Lustrousstone to use a plain white background, and to avoid clutter in the picture is very sound and useful advice - especially to people who like taking pics. on their windowsills :)

    Paul, your humour was well understood - don't worry  :P
    the relationship between these are only my gut feeling, but I should not have sent this picture here - let's better return to Steve's blue bowl   :sm:
