It looks like a nice early bit from the complex colourway, confirmed by the writing on the base, which is an early script. I'm not sure if it's Marie's or Harris'.

Given there are bits that are more broken/chipped than engraved, perhaps it's slightly more likely to be Marie? Just on the grounds that Harris was a very experienced engraver before he started working with hot glass.
And the slight "spikiness" of it.

That is a very good point that a lot of people seem to have forgotten of late.  ::)
