Vasart ? bottle

This millefiori bottle looks Scottish to me, but who made it? Is it a frigger using Vasart canes? Or what?

Me thinks it should be 2 questions.

1. Who made the bottle - Deacons, Holmes, McDougall...or ?
2. Who made the top - McDougall, Deacons, Holmes... or ?

I once had a similar shaped bottle, with 'Scottish looking' canes, where the top and stopper did not appear to match.  I showed it to John Deacons and Dave Moir, and they both said 'tank glass' - a frigger from somewhere.

But who made the canes in this one?
