Jugendstil beaker; Franz Rumwolf ?

Art Nouveau beaker, 6 inches tall. ``FR`` should be Franz Rumwolf, Vienna.
Interestingly, a silver item with exactly the same ``FR`` mark evaluated by Dorotheum auction house was attributed to another maker.
Is it Franz Rumwolf?

Your attribution to Rumwolf must surely be correct. All the other "FR" marks seem to have dots, sans-serif letters, notches in the borders, or entirely different shapes. The only other similar mark I see is from Franz Riessner, who was so much earlier that he must be excluded on stylistic grounds, as well as the presence of the Dianakopf mark.
