Lovely design, I've had one of these for 15 years or so & never managed to attribute. I was thinking Zwiesel, but they're not really documented...

yes, it's very nice indeed, Kez

- but it has a polished pontil mark. A pontil is a long metal rod, a glassmakers tool, which leaves the mark when the glass is removed from it. (can't quite get rid of my GrumpyOldPedant thing)
