I think frank is looking at the arches, here is a close up of them and a close up of a Victorian sand blasted glass, i've got a couple of similar glasses that i think are genuinely old and one a similar shape.

Here is a shot of the base wear on my OP and the other glass i'm on about that i think is  genuine and it's base wear.

Paul we agree again. Copper wheel engraved, circa 1880-1925 and most probably German or Bohemian. We see a lot of spa and souvenir glasses in this style depicting wells, pagoda's or festival halls as souvenir from the Rhine trip or the spa visit.

My friend thought the Flag was an F and maybe a masonic symbol of some sort?

[Paul S.]

I think generally that pieces showing masonic emblems tend to be of a high quality when it comes to decoration, which was probably always wheel engraving  - and very, very unlikely, they would ever have been decorated by sand blasting.

Probably the thinness of the glass is a pointer to a more modern production.

However, a good example of its type - and should be given a place in your collection  -  I certainly don't have one

Modern sandblasting is smooth to the naked eye. Saves a lot of time on areas like the ground here. But as this is older it is less likely to have been done that way. Yet close ups of arches (I had thought they were wheel from first image) it seems they might be.

[Ivo]

I see no sandblasting only copper wheel techniques.

Thank you  for all the help guys.

I think it is an Edwardian (early 20th century) Georgian-style reproduction rummer with Chinoiserie engraving.  I have a wine glass with a facet cut stem which is not dissimilar - see attached.
