Could anyone confirm that this is a Webb vase from the flair range? It stands 12" high and weighs1.5kg

The only one I have found - see here......... http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34037.msg184161.html#msg184161...........was acid etched with a back stamp as shown.   However, if I may take the liberty of quoting David E..............
"I have three of these in blue and green, two sizes (33cm and 22cm), plus a huge bowl in red*. As Nigel states, the Flair range was quite varied and also appeared to extend beyond the controlled bubble effect in the base (no, it's not featured in 'Art, Feat and Mystery'). The beaks also seem to vary in length - the small one I have is very stubby and the bubbles are confined to the base only and are not 'pulled' up the side".
I also seem to remember that it has been commented before that Webb did not always back stamp. :)

Thanks Paul, I think that's pretty conclusive, mine is identical to the one in Davids group shot (apart from a size difference) Thanks again for the help.
