My first idea would be possibly Jean Beck, which isn´t always signed:
auction house (http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.von-zezschwitz.de%2Fimages%2F0%2F18000%2F18129%2FRight-Object.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.von-zezschwitz.de%2Fonlinecatalog.php%3Fchapter%3D4%26view%3Dlist%26page%3D12%26id%3D38%26language%3Denglisch%26action%3Dlanguage&h=219&w=420&tbnid=zhpXCJeet824QM%3A&zoom=1&docid=dc3WimUkk0VUJM&itg=1&ei=TZ4pVPzmOsGf7gbmsoGoCg&tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1041&page=2&start=34&ndsp=36&ved=0CJwBEK0DMCY)

It loos very similar - the top on mine just looks metal but I think it's glass it's perfectly fused to lid.

Thanks

From your first picture I wonder if it might even be painted?

I think you may be right - black enamel - it needs a wash

Can we have a straight side-on shot please.

I´d go for bavarian rather than bohemian then. Welz e.g. would have used a massive black
glass knob.
Personally I also seem to make the observation there´s often a very thick clear glass casing
on some bavarian pieces, which would go with this one, too. But that´s just a very personal
theory... (for which I´ve already been told off badly)  ;D

It has a lustre - it's 12cm high - here is a side shot

Fingers crossed...
BTW lustre also sounds good for Jean Beck.
