This 20cm. bowl is a similar shape and has the "snail" feet of the Schwepnitz "Carmen" three-footed bowl shown here:

Other makers used the snail feet but usually on heavy pressed glass. From what I can gather Schwepnitz mostly made pressed glass but also produced blown glass, whether it a was mouth blown or mould blown I'm not sure. This one is thinly made, has a circles and ovals optic design and a ground rim which I think was done at the time of manufacture. The feet have been added later and are not quite concentric on the base. I'm thinking it's possibly from the early thirties.

I've now seen some bowls with the same feet attributed ?? to Stevens and Williams. The ground rim is not something I immediately associate with English glass but it's not impossible. The optic design does look very Webb/Walshlike though so I'm not discounting it being English.

These scroll feet are pretty common but ground rims tend not to be English. This http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=2109 I would say was Czech from the engraving style and ground rim. Certainly not English. I also take 95% of online Stevens and Williams attributions with a bucket of salt

I'll do some more research.
