Looks like St Louis to me too, a very good French Crystal maker.

Thanks Andy, will do some research, but it 'looks' and 'feels' French, threw myself thinking Saint Louis :-[

hmmmmm.  I've never seen anything from Saint-Louis in this style, at least not in their factory museum - hence the question.

Thanks Ivo, only ones I can find are the circular acid etched ones, the style and quality of the crystal looks right, the signature not crude in anyway, the price a few pounds from a carboot.
