Have not been able to find much about this piece i think i had one once before many years ago and i
sold it on ebay to a chap in France if i remember rightly but not to sure? The glass seems well moulded
and of good quality i have found two threads on here about one but both seemed to be older ones and
had no conclusion on a maker. Would love to find out who made it if anyone knows??? Thank you :)

I recall I’ve seen this pattern in opalescent glass and marked ‘Costebelle’. Don’t know much about Costebelle, though I do have a floral lidded pot (my one is apparently unmarked) which I’ve seen other versions of with either Costebelle or Etling marks — hence I suspect Choisy-le-Roi production.
Edited to add: here’s another opalescent version and some more info: http://placedelours.superforum.fr/t6782-vide-poche-aux-pingouins-costebelle
Scrolling down there’s an example with an apparent retailer’s label: Cristaux d'art DELLA TORRE
This pattern, Etling 278, is sometimes seen with a moulded ‘Costebelle’ to the base and no Etling mark to the lid: https://projetetling.wikidot.com/etling278 Hence the possible C-l-R connection.

:) Mosquito that clears up the reason why the one i used to own was sold to somebody from France
it is not such an easy one to find out very much information for and i am indebted now thank you :)

Just to add, Ivo's book (Miller's glass fact file a-z) has an entry for a Verreries de Costebelle, c.1926 who are said to specialise in lamps and lighting. This may be the same company as in the link above you can see a table lamp by Costebelle in a similar penguin design. It doesn't explain the identical boxes marked either Costebelle or Etling though.
Here's another Costebelle lidded box which matches an Etling pattern: https://musees-reims.fr/oeuvre/bonbonniere-123046718313325564 (same design as Etling 277, and also similar to a dressing table pot by S. Reich & co.: https://projetetling.wikidot.com/etling277)
I believe Etling's 274 flower patterned lidded box is also seen with Costebelle marks: https://projetetling.wikidot.com/etling274flower
and here is another Costebelle box which matches Etling's 274 'Boy and ball' pattern: https://www.antique-shimaisha.com/product/1229 https://projetetling.wikidot.com/etling274boyball
I do have another unusual small vase or lampbase in opalescent glass and depicting young children playing with a ball (may be related to the 'boy and ball box above) which is also unmarked, but I have seen the same pattern in colourless frosted glass mounted with lamp hardware and with a moulded 'Costebelle' mark in relief to the side. It's boxed up now, but I'll add a pic if I can dig it out.
