Need help IDing glass loon with signature on bottom...

Here is one of my favorite unsolved mysteries! A hand-blown, Art Glass Studio piece. I have researched this piece beyond belief and can not figure out where it came from or who signed it. I have an hunch that it is European, but who knows? I hope someone that sees this can give me ANY info they think they might have!
I do know that Stueben made a clear Crystal loon with the almost the same exact dimensions, but no internal egg and no fancy etched signature.
Dimensions: 9" long, 3 1/4" wide, body 2 1/4" high, neck/head 3 7/8" high, beak 3" high. Mottled egg inside (approx.): 3 1/2" long x 2" wide x 1 1/4 high. It is very hard to measure something inside blown glass, due to the illusion effect created, but those are by best estimates.
I think the loon and her egg, (must be a female, right?...it's got an egg in it) are an awesome combination and create a visually beautiful match! Any thoughts?
westred......yea, ya betcha!

And God said, "Let the weights hold down the papers!"
