      The two handles suggest a 'loving cup'. Perhaps you might consider describing it as an "earthenware loving cup goblet"?

      Loving cups originated in England so it could be a place to (at least start) to look for the mark. Lastly, I think that the 'curls' are also referred to as 'spirals'.

      Hope this helps you to find out something about it. It's really neat!

      ? Might the shape be called a Trophy Vase.

      Not a real Trophy, but due to the handles and shape??
