Not a good photo to go on, but two possibilities spring to mind - Stromberg  and/or Wuidart?

[Paul S.]

I think the pix are not bad for a beginner - would be improved with a single pale coloured background - but don't think there's much that can't be seen presently, other than perhaps a pic of the underside of the foot which could be useful.

Certainly Scandinavian is an obvious possibility, especially with the colour and that wavy rim which was typical, but didn't Leerdam do something similar??         What is the response to a 'flick' and what, if any, is the extent of wear on the foot?        Can't comment on possibility of British, but understand the suggestion of Wuidart - in view of the shape.
This is the sort of colour and design that makes me think of the books from Ada Polak or Stennett-Willson, so date wise it might originate in the late 1950's or '60's.

Sorry this is not of any real help.

No, Leerdam did not do it.  I would sooner think of Collection Lambert (Germany) or of Spanish recycled.

[Paul S.]

does Spanish re-cycled have a polished pontil ??

Do any glassmakers polish their rods, Paul?
