Hi Keith
I've seen only a couple of RB Studio pwts, there is this one onebay at the mo.

Although your one has not got the acid etched RBS it is very similar and not all RBS is signed

With that matte base, Midsummer Glass could be another option http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,18878.0.html
