Glass identification

I recently purchased a rather heavy glass bowl. I'm not sure if I actually like it, but i'm intrigued by the glass beading and the bird within the pattern (is it a peacock?) I have no idea on age so apologise if it is not old. As always any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I don't know either but I wonder if it could be a partridge and a pear tree.

 

Hello and welcome Guy - I'm getting a modern Asian vibe from it as opposed to an Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) vibe. Perhaps a candy dish. No need to apologize if it turns out not to be old. We see and identify relatively new items all the time.

Thanks Don, the main thing that made me think it may be of some age is its weight. Its pretty heavy, would a modern piece be as heavy?

 

Heavy is pretty relative. When tapped with a wooden pencil, does it ringgggg or tink? If it rings that makes it have some lead content, Most pressed glass coming from Europe in the last 50 years had lead in it to get around some import duties, and will ring. Lead wil also make it heavier than the same glass made without lead.
In any case, it is not OLD, pre WWI, which many now consider to be Old.
Some of us, whose grandparents were born before the Civil War have come to understand what Old really is.

 

It has a definite ring. Any idea what decade? ish
