I would agree, the base does not strike me as Italian...  What about Czech or Scandinavian....  Is it Alexandrite?  
Very pretty piece of glass.....

  OOOHHH!!! Lovely centrepiece! I'll bet it looks gr8 displayed, don't know who made it but I like!  could be a designer who saw Geoffrey Baxters design no. 9414 from 1957 whitefriars and based it on that(?)
 
    Not much help I know!

Or quite possibly the other way around - some of Geoffrey Baxter's designs were influenced by the designs coming from Scandinavia at the same time.

It certainly looks like neodymium glass anyway.
