Be aware that Indiana Glass produced what they call a hostess plate that closely resembles this pattern (shown below). It is frequently misidentified as Sowerby's English Hob and Button.

| This was Sowerby's pattern #2266. The exterior is covered with diamond points with a band of hexagonal buttons around the top. The interior is plain. Writing in their book, A Century of Carnival Glass, Glen and Stephen Thistlewood say the Chunky pattern, "was produced in marigold during the mid 1920s and then again in the 1950s when it was made in a range of bowls and plates that are sometimes fitted with a variety of unusual metal stands." The rosebowl is from the collection of Randy and Joyce Stenbach. I've not seen bowls or rosebowls sell at auction but would estimate the value at $30 to $50. The epergne with the chrome-plated metal fittings sold for $450 in 1995; a compote with a stem like the figure in this one sold for $250 in 2001.
