I found this at an antiques fair and have never seen anything like it. I think it may be European depression glass. It's 10" high with a polished pontil. A really beautiful piece.

very unique - I love it!
Now you have a mission to hunt for the whole set!
It looks great susie, never seen anything like it either
I once saw something in a similar design, a split candy dish. As I recall, it had a label that said some crystal made in Germany. Sorry I can't recall the name!
I assumed it was pressed glass but it could definitely be crystal. It's certainly heavy enough. Thanks for the clues.
Josef Inwald, Czechoslovakia, from the "Sphinx" service, designed by Rudolf Schrötter, and made at Inwald's Rudolfova works. Possibly decorated off-works. It is pressed glass.
What a find!!! Gorgeous.
Thank you, verretcheque! I've been regularly searching and had been unsuccessful so I'm beyond thrilled for your information!
verretcheque - Where did you find this information? Do you know of a glass guide or resource website? I'd like to get more background info on the piece. Thanks again for posting!

Indeed, it's gorgeous (read "I'm jealous"). There are many, many resources out there to learn about different glassware in general, and particular makers and patterns.
CW itself has a wealth of information. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/glassware/carnival-glass
If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, there are some other places to visit. One click leads to another site, and another site etc. I love reading about pieces I've collected. Anyway, I'm writing a novel here.
Have fun.

I believe CW members such as sklo42, and AGalwithGlass could advise on a book dealing with Schrötter, Rudolfova, and Czech pressed glass.
Me again. I really don't want to mislead you - so.....it's a very good plan to do a google search on the specific name(s) that verretcheque has passed along. Also czech pressed glass, CW has some info too.
Thanks for reading.
Oh my - I should have waited for verretcheque to reply. His/her help is really all you need. My apologies.
je suis pas égoïste, moi :) :)
No problem, Gillian.
As my mum once said, "Knowledge is not a weapon, but a tool to advance the lives of others. Share it"
Just like money, you can't take it with you. :D :D
verretcheque - Merci! You are very gracious.
@12 I read your message, verretcheque. Unfortunately I have only two books on Czech pressed glass, one is yours and the other I wouldn't recommend. And nothing on individual designers or factories. Pardon!
Thank you all for your insight and kind (& entertaining) comments. These are great resources, even if few, and leading me down a new path for collecting. I love this glass!
Verretcheque - what is your book and is it available in English?!
Sklo Union
Art Before Industry: 20th Century Czech Pressed Glass.
English language.
ISBN 978-0-9560623-0-7
Thanks, sklo42.

Argentina glass fabirc export lots of this sphinx motif of Inwald, most of all in a soft carnival decor or in pink. I have several. Also I have seen newer ones in blue and gold.
here some literature in English

@19, Susied, the book is in English, it comes with a disc of factory catalogues, and I found it's photographs and information invaluable. Obviously no one book could be exhaustive.
All thanks to Loumanal, if he/she had not loved this, I would not have seen it. So thank you, Loumanal
http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/decorama.html
here is all the information, probably done in my country Argentina the pattern is Decorama
Kivatinitz - It's probably the Czech version based on the shape and color but definitely Decorama. What I can't figure out is the color combo which is not irridescent.
