Hi Keith,
can´t help you with the MB, sorry.
This kind of glass however was produced over a very long period from Bohemia (Nový Bor)
to Bavaria (e.g. Poschinger). Narrowing down will possibly give you a hard time.
Some recent examples:

Poschinger I on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.de/Poschinger-Uberfang-Glas-Schale_W0QQitemZ360129080177QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGlas_Kristall?hash=item53d95dab71)
Poschinger II on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.de/Poschinger-Glas-Vase-Becher-Uberfang-Schliff-handgemalt_W0QQitemZ360211744116QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGlas_Kristall?hash=item53de4b0574)
Cheers,
Dirk

Thanks for the reply Dirk,I suppose MB was the painter as the signature is in the same green as the leaves,ta,

I know the style is quite general and difficult to attribute to one maker but hoped someone may know of a painter or maker with these initials, as so few pieces have any marks I thought I'd give this another try,
