Made in Indonesia
KIM brand
These are large bowls (between 12 inches and 14 inches across), highly iridised with an exterior design.
According to the box, there are ten different patterns. This one has a heart shaped motif pattern on the base, surrounded by fern-like leaves (all exterior). Unfortunately, the box does not show which of the ten patterns this one actually is, but most likely, it is the Sweet Heart design. The inside of the bowl is plain (note that the "Darth Vader" image in the centre of the bowl is purely a trick of the light!)
The maker's logo is on the box (see centre picture on bottom row) - KIM brand. The brand name is owned by PT Kwarsa Indah Murni, a leading glass tableware producer based in Jakarta, Indonesia. It was set up over 20 years ago. Today it has more than 800 employees, and exports to more than 30 countries including USA, Mexico, Brazil, Japan and Turkey.

With grateful thanks to Caroline Griffiths for sending us these pictures of her super piece. It is a highly iridised 12 inch fruit bowl, and the pattern name is Grapelia. What is particularly wonderful is that Caroline acquired the piece still in its original box, which was so well labelled that the item could be named and attributed to a maker!
