Finally came across the example in the below link, which I thought I would add for reference, which is the same shape.

As eluded to earlier, I presume this shape or very similar was used across both Keith Murrary designs and Stevens & Williams own production items, so whilst not definitive, interesting to see a marked Keith Murray example, nevertheless.

I'm going to seem really pedantic now  :-[, but that's not the same shape as far as I can see.  The neck has been constructed differently and it seems slightly more bulbous. And we don't know how it's marked.  It just says acid stamped.  It might be acid stamped S&W rather than Keith Murray.

 :) Don't worry, the devil is always in the detail! Just comparing both side by side, you may well be right about the neck, its hard to see exactly as the other photo is taken at a slightly elevated angle, however, the neck does certainly appear shorter on the one in the link. Both of the heights seem ok.

I think this underlines the previous point mentioned regarding the similarities and influences between both S&W's own production and the Keith Murray designs.  :)

I'm away for about a week from early tomorrow, but could Greg and m email me concerning the linked vase please?

For other readers, please don't believe everything that you find online  :( ???

Just my tuppence worth, but the vase in the fieldings auction and the original vase look like completely different species to me.
The auction one is much thinner - it doesn't look cased, the neck is short, the bubbles aren't right, the colour is consistent rather than shaded - I'd never have suspected S&W - but I'm not in any way somebody who can recognise S&W in general - I just know a couple of bits really - this purple bubbly design and the rainbow one.  ;D
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
