not of remotest help I appreciate, but just though it could be worth mentioning this might be a piece made for export from France in view of the word Registered occurring in both languages.             The monogram LR may have simply have been the initials of a wholesaler, rather than a factory - in fact the label reminded me of the similar small circular labels that occur on Swedish glass from the 1960 ish period.

I assume the rim is cut/polished/beveled.           Unfortunately, the appearance of a 'style' of decoration doesn't necessarily mean something was made in that period - you only have to think of the British 'Past Times' brand (now W.H. Smith, believe), which was very successful selling late Victorian and early Edwardian reproductions.              I could be wrong, but have a feeling that genuine late C19 French enamel was applied much thicker.          I've a French drinking glass (akin to something like a rummer) on which the enamel must be nearly a mm thick in places. 

P.S.   .....and welcome to the GMB from me as well :)
