It looks a bit like the Midwinter Rhapsody pattern but not quite.

hi, i have just taken 2 more pics, above the markings there is writing, but it is so faint, the first letter is definitely a fancy capital B, thanks for your help, p.s. the lid is white with a gold band

Maybe it's American? Did you buy it from the US?

no i didnt buy it from the U.S. it may well have come from there, i have no idea, i used to do boot sales for a living and used to buy house clearance boxes and it came from there.  i have used a magnifying glass to look at the bottom it has faint writing on the bottom but its virtually invisible but i can just make out Bri at the beginning, i thought it might mean Bristol?.  i have boxes and boxes of china but dont know what most of it is.

I saw some bowls with 'Simpsons (Potters) Ltd' on the base the other day that looked a very similar colour and pattern, but I no nothing about this sort of thing so do'nt want to make a fool of myself.  :-[

 ;D

Pattern and colour are very similar to some early 50s pyrex patterns.
Fashion trend? indicating age?
