Hi Aine, good to see you again. :)   What unusual cups! I can't find anything about that FS backstamp anywhere, although I did find a similar letter/number sequence in a pay-to-view document about Rumanian State Standards and Pyrometric Cones! No idea if there's a connection to your cups though. ;) http://www.springerlink.com/index/K705601703V4J115.pdf

I wondered if the number is a standard. I found it on vase on German ebay, don't ask me how or where. However, Romania might be the answer see here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220037217856&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=320258074661&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=StoreCatToStoreCat&usedrule2=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget&_trksid=p284.m184&_trkparms=algo%3DDR%26its%3DS%252BI%252BSS%26itu%3DISS%252BUCI%252BSI%26otn%3D1)
