The decoration is stylised peacock tails (which we know thanks to Glen) and Stuart, Harrach, Richardsons and other companies all made similar pieces. See these threads for more - I don't know enough to distinguish them. Yours does resemble those on the Great Glass Site (http://www.great-glass.co.uk/library/lib2ab.htm).
