I have tried to give up rose bowls.....but it's proving difficult! I bought this one because I have vases with this moulded design/pattern but with a surface treatment reminiscent of Kralik Iris.
This is iridescent but impossible to capture with the vase standing upright. Away from overhead light what you see is what is depicted in image 2. Somehow the light captures the iridescence more strongly on the narrow raised 'lines' between the wider raised 'ridges'.
I don't really like rose bowls without their frogs but a later purchase made me glad I'd broken my own rules......

Amazing..............Simply Amazing !! Love it Big Time !!
Awesome
Great pictures
Thank you so much antiquerose, I'm pleased it floats your boat!
I would be happy with the other three - I really get the beauty of this bowl from them. Image one? better than I could ever do with iridescence!
Many thanks Gruff, I'm tickled pink that you like the photos. I have a Heath Robinson photo set-up in the garage and the camera is twelve years old. I only started to use the camera three years ago when I discovered CW and wanted to share my glass!
Thank you so much Karen....see above comment. However I've now redone image one with scrunched up tissue paper inside the bowl to exclude light getting in from above. I think it's better if not perfect. Iridescence is always better photographed from above as in image two. This is a first for the tissue paper trick:)
Thank you for the loves, antiquerose, vetraio, Gruff, Karen, Justanovice, mikelv, nutsabotas, Manikin and NevadaBlades.
the perfection
Thank you so much, kivatinitz, as ever you are generous in your comment!
Great Colors on this one as well!
Thank you Shawn, yes but very different from the Deco one to which I think you're referring.
True but, I love iridescence on glass in all of its forms, thus is why I have switched my collection to focus more on Bohemian Glass than American Carnival Glass
