It looks like a nice early bit from the complex colourway, confirmed by the writing on the base, which is an early script. I'm not sure if it's Marie's or Harris'.

Thanks Sue
I also thought either Marie's or Harris but was not sure either.

Given there are bits that are more broken/chipped than engraved, perhaps it's slightly more likely to be Marie? Just on the grounds that Harris was a very experienced engraver before he started working with hot glass.
And the slight "spikiness" of it.

That is a very good point that a lot of people seem to have forgotten of late.  ::)
