I wonder if FIVO is something like F.I.V.O. -  Federation I... Verre... O for example?

It would be good to see the mark just in case it's not clearly FIVO

I did see a green one, some years ago.  And Anne's found another!

There are no marks I can see anywhere on mine. The base is not a full deep bird-bath shape, but a shallow curve falling from what was once a polished flat rim. It is so worn it is hard to tell if it was polished or satinated.
The mould lines are fascinating- winding around the edges of the big leaves so that they disappear into the design. There are 4 seams.
It was not a simple mould.

And then the seams are very prominent and not polished off, above the pattern, which is a bit strange, because it kind of screams "quality",  then that lack of finish lets it down a little bit. 
I still love it.
