This piece is signed "Elite' on a Maple Leaf. Elite was the trade mark for the Gowens & Kent of Toronto, Canada. Most Canadian cut glass dates from around 1890-1920s. The third photo shows some of signatures you will find on Canadian cut glass. These companies used blanks made in the U.S. and Europe.
Wow, that is intricate work!
It is a great pattern. I do believe Libbey may have cut this pattern first.
