Look into my crystal bowl...

    ...and see the future!

    My mom has this bowl but we can't find any information about it. A few questions:
    1. What style/pattern would you call this, "lotus" maybe?
    2. The 2 pics with the red arrows point to the only thing that might be a maker mark. Neither photo is great. It's embedded inside the crystal near the base. Do you think it may just be a production flaw? My mom thinks it looks like a feather or a paintbrush shape, but it's pretty indistinct even in person. Any thoughts?
    Thanks as always... James crystal-lotus-bowl-01.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-02.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-03.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-04.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-05.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-06.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-07.jpg crystal-lotus-bowl-08.jpg

    Shouldn't that be "look into my crystal ball"?;)

    The base makes me think it is Scandinavian in origin. Lotus flower shape is a good guess. I don't think the arrowed parts are a makers mark. Looks like it could be good quality gift wear of recent manufacture (last 40 years). probably not going to easily find an exact maker without a signature or label. Maybe some of our google wizards will be able to photo match it.

    Estimating: 14 x 9 x 7, maybe?
