Here's a photo of the base - there is the remains of the charity shop's price tag on the base.

With 2 types of enamel, gilding and a greek decoration I'm inclined to point at Italy - perhaps Barbini Martelago, or one of the decorating shops in Parma or in the Empoli region.  Whatever the outcome, I doubt a straightforward attribution will be possible.

Good morning Ivo and thanks for your comments. Yes I have been trying to research this myself without much success - but thanks for the pointers.
