Old combed lattice herringbone lamp - green white feathering amber foot

Sue I don't know is the answer :-\ I'm really not good on how feet are done... I don't understand them.
Because JP mentioned Monart, I had a look for one to compare the foot, and the way the applied foot is reminds me of this one as an example

And I've no idea how that is done or what it looks like on the base but others might :-\
The one on the left of this picture is a better comparison. I think the lamp foot is done the same way as this. But I have now found Frank's base pictures and none look like the base of my lamp so perhaps it's not done in the same way?If you click on the picture here and wait it blows up to quite a 'seeable' size.

Sorry for adding more links but I found this vase which does have similarities with my lamp base

and which has a description of a mark on the base that sounds as though it looks like the mark on the base of this Chic Young Perthshire Paperweights vase

My guts do not think that is Monart - though perhaps it's the photography. The foot seems to stand proud (as in wider than) from the bottom of the body and I'm fairly sure that's not in keeping with Monart. The colours don't look right - they're too bright and modern-looking.
It looks more like the work of one of the contemporary Scottish makers, possibly Jane Charles (or somebody else whose name is on the tip of my tongue - certainly, I've seen work in the Strathearn Gallery in Crieff recently which I would say is by the same person.)
I'm going to try to photograph the foot of my Allister Malcom claret jug for illustration - because the foot is clear glass applied to coloured.

Sue I'm confused, probably because I did what I shouldn't do and posted two posts at the same time. Which one do you not think is Monart? Do you mean you're sure my lampbase isn't Monart ? BobCrooks and Anthony stern have done some lattice ware but I feel sure this is neither.
I am wondering about Vasart? I came across a red lattice bowl at a Lyon and Turnbull sale that was identified as Vasart and quite neatly done lattice work that I think has similarities.

and I'm still wondering if it is Nazeing. Anita has a white combed piece that was identified as Nazeing and is a very neatly done and finished piece.
I think I've worked out a bit more about the lamp.
a) I think the combing was done in a dip mould with odd and even spikes so the combing looks the way it does and makes a sort of diamond shape pattern as it is pulled out of the mould, then the piece was twisted once it had been pulled out of the mould and blown a bit further.
b) I think the green is the inner layer, then the combing in pink and white enamel then the whole outer layer is very thinly cased amber with the amber only making up the foot? does that make sense? that would explain why the combing looks off white and why the green is such a gorgeous green (amber laid over bottle green maybe? )

I was not saying it is Monart just of a similar look and quality , the foot is nothing like any of my Monart pieces , the rest does have a similarity to some . i would like to own it and see it lit up . jp
