Hi

I don't know who made your bowl but it is very pretty.  I love the circle murrines.  Very nice.  This is just a wild guest and I could be totally off base but maybe Fratelli Toso?  Hopefully someone could help better than me on the forum today.

Ta for reply,thought Toso made better quality pieces unless this was an early one or they were having an off-day in the factory,Keith.

Like I said it was a wild guess but your bowl could also be a generic end of the day bowl.  I have one of these as well with reminents of a foil label but I do believe mine is generic.  I bought it for fun.
