After my most recent glass arrival late last week, I scoured through a number of my reference books to see if I could find an example of it's distinctive decor. I had a residual memory of seeing it somewhere before.
I was already leaning towards Richardson's due to the banded colours - similar to that used on their well known tulip vases (though in that case without the threading).
Then, after seeing image 1 in my copy of the book "British Glass 1800 - 1914" by Charles R Hajdamach, my hunch was revealed to be correct. The second vase from the left - with broad ruby & white vertical bands overlaid with slightly wavy white applied threading, is described as having been made by Richardson's circa 1878. Almost the same decor as my rose bowl on a different shape.
Thanks for posting the book page, Marin. I am so glad you were able to confirm your hunch! :)
Much appreciated, Michelle!
