Not Walther or Sowerby. How is the base rim finished? Have you looked through here https://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/index2.html

Thank you for the link very impressive. I've made a massive mistake it's not press glass its hand blown and cut the pedestal foot has 12 faceted.base it rings really well. But could it still be pressed glass.? There are 3 lines like press glass but they feel sharp to the touch

Hello
Unfortunately the pictures turn unscharp when enlarged, but so far I can see, I think pressed. Could you try to bring more pictures with details of the edges and rim.
