I think this may possibly be by Percival Vickers. neilh has one similar on his site in the 1870-72 PV section Rd.No. 269194, mine has two rows of the raised vertical oblongs. Apart from a fine ring of wear on the foot and a few scratches it is in very good condition.

The little "parachutes" as the term goes were used on a number of goblets from the mid 1860s to early 1870s so you can be fairly sure on the date. It's not in the Percival Vickers catalogue though. A Manchester attribution is quite likely but not guaranteed.

As usual thanks very much for your input Neil, I'll keep looking.

I'm now leaning towards James Derbyshire, the stem and foot in particular are similar to Derbyshire ones I have. I don't know if it's significant but they all weigh very close to 500gms and have a volume of 150cc. to give a density of 3.3.
