I would like to correct my comment made above
'I'm questioning  for two reasons 1) Truitt's volume 1 documents some known Stuart peacock eye vases as Harrach '...

I was questioning two vases on page 67 of Truitt's that I thought were very similar to Stuart vases  but I do not know for sure that they have been incorrectly documented as Harrach in Truitt's.  In another thread it has been brought to my attention that my questioning  on peacock eye trail vases identification in Truitt's might not have been correct, and in doing so this has highlighted to me  my error in the wording I have used  :-[  Note to self...choose wording more carefully  :-X and I should have put references on if I was going to question this.  Apologies.

Just to add for reference and  to explain my previous comment -
the tall Peacock eye trailed vase here on the Style and Design site is identified as Stuart (you need to scroll down to the group shot to see the tall vase) http://www.stylendesign.co.uk/guidepages/estoz1.html
This is appears to me to be the same vase as the vase in Truitt's Bohemian Glass 1880-1940 page 67 top plate, tallest vase, identified as Harrach.  Style and Design have stated
" Peacock Trails" (Cairngorm), Arts and Crafts styles by Stuart, from the start of the 20th century. Frequently attributed Harrach. Bohemian glass in this style is thinner and has no polished pontil. (There are reference book errors in this area of collecting)."
 However, they do not give a pattern no or reference for their identification that these are Stuart.
