Is the rim cut and polished?

Thanks for your answer John,

the rim it is cut and polished, see attached picture.

before I blew up the pix I thought Maltese...........   but looking closely it appears it's possibly an example of acid stain colouring?
Is the colour on the surface only, and has a sort of almost peeled paint look, then just might be one of those           -     I think Ivo has commented on their origin somewhere.

Of course ignore me if everyone knows what it really is

Should there be a link there Paul? 

[Paul S.]

there wasn't Rosie  ..............   partly because I was doubting myself, and partly due to the fact that I had a GA yesterday and still feeling a little dopey (what's new) and had gone for a snooze.
Do you agree with me then - that possibly this is acid colour staining??              I'll do the link if folk agree with me.

[Lustrousstone]

It is a surface decor but not staining and not Maltese.
Hope your brain is less addled today

[Malwine]

Thanks to you all! Do you have any idea how old it is or where it might originate?

[Paul S.]

thanks - not so much addled as fighting some localized discomfort for a day or so.             o.k. we appear to be still searching for answers then  ...... 

It's a bit vague to say 'it's recent', but possibly better to wait until we know what type of glass/décor it is - assuming we do get that far - unfortunately it's not always possible to identify every piece of glass shown on the GMB.            Nonetheless, my opinion is that this is recent
