I hadn’t realised the Blackcountry Tazza was the one in Hajdamach that thewingedsphinx mentioned in reply #1. (Should’ve got the book out!). The caption for Colour Plate 10 with the dolphin tazza does say at the beginning “Colour Plate 10. Richardson glassware from the 1840s”. I thought the salt matched looking quickly but you’re right, completely different.
The dolphin in you’re link above (reply #22) sold as Mount Washington/Moser is similar to the tazza and blueoctopus’s but it looks different as it is more ‘s’ shaped. The tail looks to come further over the head and there is a tighter curve at the top of the tail and the belly fin is different. The one in reply #23 above it’s hard to tell. I wondered if it’s like your uranium becher where near identical items were being made all over. It’s hard to compare grainy images of dolphins...I’m going to be dreaming about dolphins. Which museum and publication’s attribution trumps the other’s?
In reply #17 but doesn’t it also resemble British designs shown in Hajdamach such as those in Plates 63 and 64 by Rice Harris? Is it the case that a rim like that is more typical on bohemian glass than British? But then the rims of the Celeries from Webb Richardson c1830s Plate 39 don’t look a million miles away either.
I have much less experience or breadth of knowledge so will leave it up to others 
Been searching to find something to demonstrate why I am querying the ruby dolphin stem tazza on page 104 of Charles Hajdamach British Glass 1800-1914. It appears in the section titled Richardson Dynasty Colour Plate 10 caption reading ' Richardson glassware from the 1840s, showing painted, gilded ....'
This is an example of why I query that caption:
