 ;D It looks kind of familiar. You need one of the companies that used that particular shade of "rosy golden" amber. Webb and Stuart are a couple I can think of.
I suspect I suspect something Webby. (or S&W-y) Not really my area or age. :-[

I was thinking Stourbridge aswell,but I'm not sure about the quilted look and I think some of the continental glass firms may have done something like it?.It's has a kind of subtle amberina look to it so I'm starting to think it could be late Victorian?

Not amberina - it's just the thickness of the glass.  :)
It is a very particular and not-normal-amber colour though.

I have a different shaped vase and a set of fruit dishes in the same sort of colour, which I've not managed to ID yet, but I suspect one of the Stourbridge makers.

There's a similar pair attributed to Webb on ebay just now

Thanks everyone,,it's looking like Stourbridge with a interesting twist on the standard Amber colour,the only thing to add is it's pretty thick in the base making it fairly heavy.

The base on my vase is heavy too - I don't think I've taken a photo of it yet.  Will do that tomorrow when the light is better. It was suggested that my bowls might be Webb but no evidence yet.

I suspect Webb too. It looks like their 1906 pineapple mould. I don't think they're as early as Victorian just from the style. The oversize pontil mark is often a Webb thing too. Mine is uranium glass http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1476
