Thanks all for the information, the cut does indeed look like Speymore which on looking appears to be a Caledonian design.
As always a font of knowledge.

Caledonian Crystal appears to be a picture framing shop in Wishaw.
Their website is still under construction. But they appear to be engravers and cutters only. I don't know where they get their blanks made.
Same for Glencairn. I don't know where the glass is made, and can't seem to find out.

Glencairn Crystal here:

https://glencairn.co.uk/

Is that the right one?

Hmm, their link says they are 'A leading manufacturer of bespoke crystal and glass'
I couldn't find any reference on their site to them making the actual glass.  But that might have just been my poor search efforts.

I found that, copied the address out and put it into google maps.

I really suspect both companies buy in blanks and just decorate them.

me too.  If they actually made the glass they'd be showing it.

I don't really count them as being glass manufacturers at all.
They are glass surface decorators.

So, why would they etch a mark on the base? That is far more indicative of something done at the time the glass was made.
