the cross goes down, the horizontal 8 on top. together they are the alchemist symbol for glass. Several makers have used it. Cannot place this particular one, it could be Skruf but I'm not sure.

 Hi Markus,

unfortunately I´ve got no idea which glassworks, but the mark is definitely upside down.
The sign of infinity combined with the cross is the alchemist´s sign for glass. It´s therefore
been used by several makers like Skruf or Fachschule Zwiesel...
Like always a picture of the whole piece won´t do harm.  :)

edit: crossing... Well, in fact I´ve learned that from one of Ivo´s posts... LOL  :hi:
