Not sure if this bowl is Murano, Czech or is simply a Chinese bowl.

Colours dark green and clear glass and has a flat pontil.

7cm maximum height, length and width is 13.3cm maximum

In the 60s - 70s there were some European glass factories that combined a single deep colour with clear; Bayel in France is one example, I believe there were some smaller Belgium factories that used similar styles (sometimes combined with forms that looked vaguely Murano) and also similar bowls appear to have been produced in Scandinavia. I haven't seen this particular pattern before, so I can't offer more than that.
