Lovely vase, clearly marked, but I can't ID it it. Help please!

The logo part in the middle could concievably be the B.S.H. letters entwined, but I'm utterly clueless about anything else.
The problem nowadays is there are just far too many silly acronyms "out there" when it comes to trying to search for a particular one.  (Brick Sh*t House is what comes into my brain immediately.  )

I thought the initials in the middle were SCG which should be S.... C...... Glass (Glas? might it be German? but the numbers don't look European)

then the NO is the number of the piece.
Then the date
then PJ and BSH being the maker and cutter of the piece.

However once I'd decided all that last night, I then thought it might all be wrong and perhaps PJ and BSH were twins and the date was their birth date  - maybe a 21st birthday present as it looked as though it could be a more recent piece than 1983.

I was surprised by the date as  I would have thought either  later or much earlier had I not seen the base at all.  Just goes to show, don't judge a book by it's cover 

It might help to look up Glass engravers in the UK via the Glass Engravers Guild and see if the initials fit.
But also Australian/New Zealand makers.

sorry I've not a clue as to provenance/origin, unfortunately  -  but just wanted to say that to me it had more of an art nouveau shape than deco  -  far more sinuous and natural, than geometric.             Not that this helps remotely with attribution etc.......     the world seems now to revolve around copying since there's nothing new under the sun - and these two great styles are forever being reproduced.

I agree with Paul...Nouveau style. This may be "out there" but could it be a privately produced anniversary piece to commerate an occasion?  For many years over here you could place an order with Viking Glass in WV for an specific anniversary vase (25/50 years, etc) & the would make one up for you with initials & dates. Really a sharp vase done with skill.
