Hi Chris,
it´s Walther ´Windsor´ vase and IMHO one of the greatest Art Déco designs of pressed glass.
See here on Pamela´s site:

Regards,
Dirk

edit: Not a bowl, but vase or centerpiece BTW - unfortunately missing it´s flower frog.

Great item still. Both of mine (uranium) are more or less chipped. Love them nevertheless!  :thup:
Only recently I managed to buy another Walther vase, a ´Greta´ including the frog. As it´s
interchangeable with the Windsor, I swap it among them now and then...  ;D
