--- Quote from: "pamela" ---... It looks French to me.
There is a very similar one chez Raspiller, Fenne of 1881 page 62 item number 1118 - but the stem looks a little different I'm afraid. ...

Pamela — Grateful thanks for the information. It was kind of you. As you will see, we now have a positive ID with a completely unexpected attribution!
Dave — Brilliant! I'm speechless (well, not quite). Google also came up with this article published by Siegmar Geiselberger on Pressglas-Korrespondenz, see:-
http://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/pk-2005-3w-allen-pokal-russ.pdf
Note that my example clearly makes the "14" shown in this complex mark a size "¼" [litre] rather than a pattern number or other reference.
Thanks again. BTW I will be selling it — we don't have any space in our tiny home.
Oh, and if you have a spare minute or two, please would you let Francis N. Allen know of this variant.

If you will notice on the article by Siegmar, I was the contributor of the photos and information. The photo of the underplate and coupe, in addition to the marking, was from the one I had. The grouping of 8 is where I got my information. Siegmar was surprised too, when I gave him the information.
Oh, by the way, In my travels 6 months ago, I spotted the underplate....in BLUE!

Dave — Yes, I saw your name in the PK article. I was having a browse around to see if I could find a consistent Roman alphabet spelling of the glassworks name (found a fourth, Fedorovsky, to add to Fedorovsk, Fedorvsk, and Feodorovsk), and to see if there was any clue as to the origin of Christie's material.
No luck.
Thanks again,
