Not sure of the maker, but you are right, there would have been a spelter (white pot metal) base with a connecting nut that this piece sat on.  Very pretty and Victorian, but don't know who made it.

Mr. Vaseline Glass.

Whenever I come across similar pieces to this, it's almost always in Germany or thereabouts - so possibly it's continental?

Just a thought.

Thanks, so you don't think there is anything else missing as I sometimes see them with a trumpet shaped peice of glass on the top?

It could be from a centrepiece epergne, but it could just as likely have been a common-or-garden fruit bowl, at a guess.
