in the absence of any marks etc., then the answer is probably no.         Some of the big names in glass making from the last quarter of the C19 decorated their glass with threading, and the 'ferny' style of wheel engraved decoration on this one 'suggests' it comes from that period, but it could be later.
Not that it really matters, but the second picture here shows too much glare to be of use in showing details with any clarity, of the pontil area.
It's an attractive little posy vase, and in view of the absence of internal water staining, then it may not have seen much use.

P.S.   don't know what books you may have  -  there is a good section on threading in Charles R. Hajdamach's 'British Glass 1800 - 1914' - though the book is worth having for many other reasons of course.            It won't tell you who made this one, but gives much interesting background etc. to this particular decorative process.
