Welcome to the board. This is not really my era but somebody will be along soon who can help you. They'll almost certainly ask for a picture of the bottom of the bowl as it tells so much about how it was blown/moulded/manufactured. If you could post a picture of the bottom then I am sure somebody will help you identify it very quickly.

edited to add: having read Glen Thistlewood's article (http://www.geocities.com/carni_glass_uk_2000/Hortensja_PINWHEEL.html) on this pattern again: probably Sowerby?

Glen is an esteemed member of GMB and hopefully will comment on yours ;)

The outer finish looks sand-blasted to me, and the base is not polished. Therefore I would rule out Inwald now, and tend to Sowerby...

Glen, please! :)
