Title: Two-toned,clear cased , thick, heavy, slightly elliptical bowl with gold leaf .

I thought this could possibly be Kerry Glass but it's just a wild guess on my part.

It's thick glass , very heavy , weighs 1.2 kilos , two toned with gold leaf decoration. There are three small applied leafs of gold two of which are just shadows, the gold must have evaporated in the heat. Highly polished base.

It's slightly elliptical in shape and is in blue and turquoise-green . Height 3 1/4 inches ,diameter at widest point 7 1/4 inches & 6 1/2 inches at narrow diameter of rim. 

Thanks for looking and any ideas/comments greatly appreciated. Cheers Mike

Pretty sure this is Caithness and within the past five or ten years. Check just below the rim for me in case it is engraved there Mike.

Possibly a Rainbow bowl.

Looks like the colour combination is called Aqua...and that's why it weighs a ton ....I hadn't thought of Caithness  :D

This one is unmarked , I've checked all around the rim.

Cheers !!  ;D
