I have recieved a reply from Langham glass today and it is not one of their pieces, they do not mark with Langham "Crystal", only "Langham Glass" and they do not number their pieces.

So, I will have to think again and do some more research on this piece.

ahremck:
Looking at their website it is clear that although they trade as Langham Glass they do lots with crystal (see http://www.langhamglass.co.uk/lang_hist.php ).  I wonder if what you think is a series of numbers is in fact a name and the date a casting was made (wild guess!!!!!).  Perhaps you could take photos of the numbers for us to look at - you did an excellent job of the Langham Crystal bit.

Here are the long sets of numbers.

On looking at the base again, I do not think that it actually states what we first thought and now feel that the piece is glass and not crystal.

On very close inspection and with the assistance of family members for extra eyes, it appears to read more like a signature as opposed to a company name.

To give possibly some extra oomph to the ID, the piece came from a private collector originally who also had Venini pieces, could this be a special that was made by Venini for its original owner or a one off special? I belive it to be a maker of note due to the amount of numbers etched into the base.

I have added two more images below that show the signature/company much better than the originals posted.

Looks like a Germanic type name to me
