Maybe the Y shaped design is a basic copy of the Harrach Coat of Arms?

Not only did the pictures not post but neither did the text! Anyway, I posted some pictures of some glassware that I had on the murano forum. Someone told me that there was a discussion on this board about the same vase that I had...

Detail on second item is odd! Marked "Monart, FBS, Scotland, Bootlano"

Here's yet another version of the FBS mark, this time on a 1930s opalescent glass vase by S. Reich & Co.

The vase is shown in Reich's 1934 catalogue as no. 8930 (Thanks to Seigmar Geiselberger of Pressglas-korrespondenz.de for the catalogue ref.).

The mark on this vase is silver in colour and has the usual FBS in the centre, surrounded by "CZECHO SLOVAKIA".
