Thank you for your very prompt response.
I managed to clean it up and take a precise photo.

It seems to me that the symbol between the initials looks slightly different than the one below.
JayT, what do you think?

Hello

Granvigne was in business for a long time, and his punch varied a bit. The one on your object matches closely the mark illustrated in Arminjon.

From the style of your cup, I feel confident that the maker is Granvigne.

Regards.
