Looks English to me,attribution to a particular factory may be difficult,word of warning :ooh:....if you say it has a pontil on the base you'll get a telling off(mentioning no names) it should be pontil mark or scar,very nice piece ;D

Pontil mark isn't the problem. It's pontil on it's own; a pontil is an iron rod! And I can't see one of those  :24:

Without a closer look these are difficult to attribute , i would say without doubt English and the contenders being Powell Webb or Walsh , Powell tend to be thinner and lighter than Webb i am not so sure about Walsh as i havnt had many of theirs in recent years , i will try to get the books out over the weekend , i dont suppose you are near Cambridge as the fair is on this Sunday and you could get a definite answer there or try www.whitefriars.com  Steve Leslie is in the chair on that type of glass .
ps . and how could i forget Nigel Benson  ;D   but i may try  ;) :hi:
