It measures approximately 8 inches in diameter and stands approximately 4 inches to the rim from table top.  The scrolled feet measures approximately 1 1/2 inches.From the Hobbs, Brockunier & Co., Glass Guide by Neila & Tom Bredenhoft (page 100-101), 'this is a pressed bowl with hand tooled features. The floral prunt on the bottom of the bowl is identical to prunts found on No. 230 Neapolitan, and the shell feet are identical in manufacture.' 'This bowl is circa 1887.' As for condition, there are no chips and no cracks.  In the bowl is a scratch or straw mark, which is pictured.  ***Around the floral prunt on the bottom of the bowl on the outside is what looks to be where the spot where the pontil was broken off or possibly an open air bubble (pictured from interior of bowl).  I am NOT an expert, but referred to a reliable antique dealer about this piece. This is in excellent, exquisite condition, especially being a Victorian piece.  It's beautiful! ***To clarify, it is on exterior of the base of the bowl.Offers are encouraged and will be seriously considered.
