Its Sowerby - late 1930s (Illustrated List 35).  Also came in a vase shape.  ("Sowerby's Ellison Glass Works Vol.Two. George V to Elizabeth II". Thistlewood & Thistlewood)

Yup, it's Sowerby's #2617 fruit bowl, 8 3/4" x 4 3/4" x 5 1/2" deep. (Unless anyone knows of that shape in a different size, or made by some other factory...)

No offence meant! I've just learnt to be very careful when declaring patterns, even familiar ones, because of the amount of pattern-borrowing that happened in the 1930s.
