This is a post-Harris design - but not terribly long after, I don't think.
The colour is not amethyst, but a deep purple. I Like this design a lot, and I have a few pieces. Normally, the silver chloride is "painted" on in a loopy, wiggly line around the piece.
I don't actually know who designed it or when.

Thank you for your reply thinking of it the colour is more of a purple. From the little bit i have read the glass workers got there inspiration from the land and coast line of the island. And this just reminds me of a stormy sea at night.
