It looks like a Brilliant Cut Glass design to me but I can’t find an exact match. That really isn’t surprising since most of the Brilliant patterns were not named and since they are all essentially one of a kind there are even variations within the patterns.
I did see that the Harvard and Daisy pattern had the same type of daisies as your bowl. That might at least help you narrow down the maker.
Really beautiful item!
edit arachne has a point. It could very well be modern cut glass. If you have a jewelers loupe or magnifying glass look at the cuts and see if there are striations. The old glass was polished by hand and didn’t always buff them all out. The new glass is chemically polished and will not have any marks. The edges will be really clean.

Very pretty bowl.It’s hard to tell from a photo but the flowers appear to be gray cut. If so, it is contemporary and very likely from eastern Europe. Brilliant era glass is completely polished.
