Another of my brain cells must have died, 'cos I used to know what this was.... but now I can't retrieve the right image/info.
Thank goodness for Anne and all the other GMB'ers who can refresh my overloaded memory and save me from this frustration. ;-)

you should be so lucky ;D - the volume of response for cut, clear glass, is deafeningly quiet, most of the time ......... though I can't speak for Anne, and the lady may well know this one - which is more than I do. You've forgotten which country too, have you?? - which might help.
If we suggested names such as Webb Corbett, Thomas Webb, Stuart - might you remember? Lord David Queensbury (Webb Corbett) was very keen on these rigidly geometric designs.
I like the geometric style of cutting - so much more interesting than the usual very common crossed cut appearance - it's a design/pattern that occurred in fits and starts on odd pieces from the 1930 to 1950s - let's hope I'm wrong, and that someone does have a good memory.

For what it's worth, I remembered it as VSL, but when I looked at the catalogues it wasn't there! So I might be working with a a 'corrupted memory'.

Looks like pattern : MAILAND by Walther. See Pamela's site.

well done John - glad to be proven wrong, again ;) The word cut, in the heading had me off on the wrong trail - I take it then that this is a pressed piece?

Thanks John, You're bang on the money, of course. My shins are now sore from kicking myself!
Ouch!
