The Dame Laura Knight decanter is on page 167 of 20th century British Glass, Hajdamach.

Next to it is another decanter with enamelling.

Hajdamach caption says 'Plate 350 ... On her drawing for the clown decanter Knight has added the comment 'Decanter could be done etched in colours or in cuts rounds & ovals dull, drum dull, rest all polished'.'

So that description could fit the decoration on your vase.  But... no pontil mark, cut rim?

And on page 165 Hajdamach comments that Dame Laura Knight '...was the only one of the group (he talks about a group of named designers) to combine acid-etching and enamelling for her designs for the circus range and for the 'Modern Bacchanal', ....'
That quote is taken out of context by me as too long to type it all up. Therefore  it could be interpreted, as I read it, that it applies only to those designs by Dame Laura Knight,  but also it could be read as applying to her being the only one to incorporate enameling and acid-etching in her work. 

Difficult but I'm still veering towards it being Czech however there's nothing in the Das Bohmische Glas Band IV that's cut and enamelled that I could see.  That's not conclusive of course though.

Page 122 plate 239 Hajdamach as above, there are some interesting etched coloured dots on Stuart items.  No match to shape and still we have the no pontil mark but they look quite similar perhaps?

Not Franz Welz, but I agree with M: Continental rather than British

Thanks for delving into the books on my posting M. The Stuart pattern's for the circle decoration in the Hajdamach book look interesting, but much brighter than the muted colours on my vase.
Had a close look at the circles on my vase and they are slightly textured under the enamel. does this mean they have been shot blasted or acid etched?
I will continue to look around to see if i can nail this one down.

Some nice things in that V&A link.
You can see so much more surface detail in those images. The circles have fine cutting in them and i'm guessing a pontil base.
I think my Paul Nash theory is busted.

Just as an observation i have seen quite a few pieces of similar shape
sitting on dishes made at the Orrefors Factory in the 20's-30's many
by Edward Hald mainly saying as very similar shaped pieces not a shape
i would think of as very English but just saying sorry not much help.

Taking the lead from Legsy's post re Hald, this attached is quite interesting, but looking closer the engraving isn't the same and I'd have expected anything to be marked?  My little engraved bowls from Lindstrand are marked I think and they are tiny.  That said, there is so much wear on the base of your bowl that perhaps the mark has been obscured.  Or is the wear too far into the centre perhaps:
