ID help with a glass lampstand please

Hello everyone, my first posting after lurking for a while Can anyone shed any light on the maker / age of this monster stand that came my way recently. Its growing on me but I have little idea of its origins. Many thanks for any comments

This isn't really my field, but does anybody else think that the top looks older than the glass, like somebody's paired up the stem of an old table-lamp with a more modern glass candlestick?

Welcome all lurkers

lol thank you skay, I dread to think how you were stripped of your title

Oh dear, PP not a promising start, I must be losing my touch - it certainly felt right I'd better go and stand in the corner now
