could be wrong, but the two marks don't look that similar...................admittedly this most recent pic lacks some definition, but there appear sufficient differences to need a 'second opinion' :)  -  can this second pic be sharpened up possibly?

I'd agree with the comments regarding the quality etc. of earlier pressed tumblers, although genuine crizzling may not be that common in tumblers.

We don't know size of this later piece, but it looks more like a tumbler than a shot glass. :)

you might try Canadian Rose's method of englarging the posted image..............          which is to place a lens/loupe between the camera and the object.         It needs a little practice, but does provide some valuable magnification on small features such as this.           With practise it's also possible to shove a microscope in the middle, and then you're really going places. ;D

I've just realized that rose de verre didn't include the size either, but now see why you call yours a shot glass.

I'll try Paul,in the meantime Rose"s bird has a beak and eye with the head about the same level as the tip of the wings,on mine the head is higher than the wings and without an eye and a hint of a beak..
