These lovely items were made by Hortensja, Poland.

The clear pattern in the frosted base is intaglio and is called Blackberry Intaglio.

​The moulded (panelled) pattern around the exterior is known as Sticks and Stones.
 
Marigold bowls and plates in various sizes are known: the frosted intaglio berry design on the base alters according to the size of the dish: on the tiniest dish there are two leaves and one berry.

Many thanks to Ellen Richardson for these pictures of her super Blackberry Intaglio jam dishes. They are 3 inches wide and have quite a deep shape.
