Yes, Kerry Glass in the Heather colourway. There is a similar vase on my web site: http://iowstudioglass.wikidot.com/kerry

The base does not have the coachbolt pontil mark since that was used only in 1973 while The earliest that Kerry Glass could be is 1978.

I've got a bit with a marks like that - not a coach bolt - but a squashed-and-squished-out-of-recognition flame mark.

Impossible to say if it's Kerry or Isle of Wight Studio Glass. These pieces were made in both places.
Only a label, or a later and back-to front flame mark on Kerry would tell you. :)
