Can anyone tell me anything about this rose bowl? It is topaz or amber with white threading. It is a little over 5" (13 cm) tall. I think it is either North American or English from what I've read. Would this style of glass be called Victorian? Thanks for looking.

Don't ignore the possibility that it may be Bohemian....

Thanks for your responses, Rose and Craig. I just noticed that the pontil area is nearly circular, recessed, and polished. The pontil is camouflaged by the threading on bottom, so difficult to show. The style of threading and the pontil make me wonder if this might be Stevens & Williams. The feet are ground flat and show honest wear on bottom that would fit with the time that S&W did this type of work.

Time period is about right, but I might lean to Bohemian along with Craig; something about the feet, the messy bottom and the shape. It's machine threaded so nothing unique there; plenty of companies were using it. Who knows?

Bohemian would also explain the tri-fold rim, LS. I'll take your and Craig's advice and look toward a Bohemian source. Thank you.

If it is Bohemian, I would also lean towards a later period as the Bohemian houses did this type of "Victorian" work as late as the 30's.
