I am getting this one from Pavel Yelkin, a CD 579.5 (?) embossed with the "Imperial" era double-headed Eagle and with the manufacturer's name "Maltsovskoii" in Cyrillic lettering, in an arc below the eagle. Color is an emerald green. The insulator is similar to the one shown here: http://www.insulators.info/photos/photos/5795-rus.htm Update 3-DEC-07: This apparently is listed as CD 547. The Maltsov Glass Factory has been making high quality glass and crystal for centuries, and in located in a city of which the name translates to "Crystal Goose", in Russian. Update, 24 May 2005: This may not be a CD 579.5, GIFONA shows the CD 579.5 as being 4 3/8 inches tall, and 3 3/8 inches wide at the base, this one is much smaller, 2 3/4 inches tall, 2 5/16 inches wide at the base.
