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
Cheers!

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

Thank you both,   :clap: it does look like Romania, doesn't it? 50's seems likely too..
