sounds like a quality piece Fen, and very unusual.      Would people agree with me that this has been made in three parts (as with some of the drinking glasses??)      The main body is blown, stem and then foot attached, with the pontil rod detached last of all after the rim has been turned over and finished - with frosting and stars last of all?

Reference my comment from yesterday........... "but must admit I've never seen a celery with a turned-over rim".         In Phelps Warren's 'Irish Glass', he does include a celery with a turned-over rim - although nothing like this piece, in the sense that it's a very different overall design and as you'd imagine a heavily cut piece of glass from the Regency period.
So they do exist, but nonetheless I'd think very uncommon when compared to the quantity of celeries with standard rims.

I found this. Not sure it adds much further information but it is a very similar piece to yours.

Gosh, yes, that's really similar. I really appreciate all the information and clues that people have contributed regarding my unexpected find amongst a box of glass at a local auction house.

That engraving strikes me as more Continental than English  :-\ but that could be just me
