Hello, can any one help me identify this green glass beaker, it has punts and a etched mark to the base?

Sorry no expert i'm afraid,i've seen pictures of glass like this though described as a 16th century Berkemeier,could you give a size and is there any signs of wear,oldglassman will give you a better idea.

Hello,

the glass measures 12 cm in height.

There is little sign of wear and the etched mark on the base looks quite modern, which is why i thought it may be a more recent copy of an early glass.

I read somewhere James Powell made copies of this type of glass in the early 1900s.

Sorry i don't enough about it i'm afraid,but i know that aesthetic rings my bells something about hard glass and the way the applied glass softens the whole form,i thought i'd found a piece of old  north American glass the other day with the same feel about it but it had no sign of wear at all, could have been Spanish.I always think of James Powell as being inspired by that type of glass rather than copying,but its very early doors for me and i'm often wrong,hope you get an id on it i'd be very interested as well.

I´m sure we´ve had several replica from this maker here on GMB over the years, but I don´t think
we´ve been able to pin down the maker yet.
Personally I think it must be a relatively recent copy, because especially many of those I see on ebay.de
have this signature.
Similar stuff has also been sold by Bon in Murano and a swedish maker which has now escaped me, but
here´s very similar pieces from other makers:
