Bought this beautiful bowl yestetday. Seen it on a table at the local flea market aling with some other great pieces that I will post soon. Unable to find the exact pattern and there are no makers marks.
looks like relatively recent European imported crystal giftware; the combination of pressed lead glass and gray cut motifs is typical.
Love it
Does anyone know who makes this?
"R" has this as part of the 'Snappy' line by McKee; not sure of time frame:

Thanks tallcakes!!!!
you're very welcome Robin : )
It looks deep could it be part of a punch bowl set
McKee's various Innovation lines were introduced in the teens. It was an "innovation" because it was relatively inexpensive pressed glass with cutting on the flower petals and highlights in the design to simulate more expensive completely cut wares. Other companies made similar lines, including USGCo.
The only items in this pattern shown in McKee catalogs are an Apple Bowl, 10" Footed Fruit Bowl, Ice Tub, and Rose Bowl--no punch set.
Kemple acquired a lot of the old McKee moulds and reproduced the glass c. 1950s/60s, among them some of the Innovation patterns. However, Kemple made them in colors and did not take the time to cut the flowers and highlights in the pattern.
