sorry no idea as to pattern name  -  have you tried the Replacements.com site, Roy  -  not guaranteed to provide the answer, but always worth a go.         Looking at the back stamp, then this is almost certainly of recent manufacture, and if very recent might even be from the period when the glass was made outside the U.K., although have an idea those pieces carry the word 'International'.

Thanks Paul

I was not thinking that recent as one of the labels on the foot is very faded. I think it reads Quality Crystal Made in Scotland, I could be wrong but thought pre 2000.
I will add picture later.

the earlier C20 mark was 'Edinburgh Crystal' in circular form, with E & L in the centre  ...............  post W.W. II roughly the same circular mark but reading 'Made in Scotland' and again with E & L in the centre.          Then about 1955 it looks like there was an oval back stamp 'Made in Scotland' with simply 'Edinburgh' in the centre  -  so yours likely to be the last 20 - 25 years possibly.
Wish I'd kept all my pieces, they did some great stuff.

The mark you have, Edinburgh Crystal, written in that font, was in use in the early '90s, Roy.
It was on some wineglasses I bought as a wedding present, before I got properly interested in glass.
I was most irritated that the mark was not in the middle of the underside of the foot, but out on the rim, so it showed. 

I have just checked the Ionas I also bought in the early '90s. They are marked Edinburgh Scotland. Iona is a hallmark design which is not outsourced. I'm wondering if the use of "crystal" indicates outsourced work.
