Ok a bit too early !  nearly 7 inches tall with large polished pontil mark.

Thomas Webb. Can I have my present now?

[keith]

Far too quick me thinks, how about a broken grid hanky vase? I just happen to have one at hand ! 
Do you think this may have been part of the 'Flair' range? C.H's book doesn't mention clear glass pieces.

[keith]

This looks very familiar eh ?

Ah, you found me out!

I'm not sure if these are part of the Flair range but definitely allied to it. I also have one of those taller bud vases, but in clear and without any controlled bubbles in the base. Is this Flair? But I was very surprised when the 'double-solifleur' arrived a few years ago and I discovered the Webb stamp.

According to CH's book they did controlled bubble and plain items called 'Haze' I presume these were without bubbles ( top of p. 302 )

Yes, I remember this being discussed before - Flair was the generic term for this range, Haze was clear, bubbled items were known as Blue Galaxy, although there's no mention of the amber, green, teal, amethyst and red varieties. Also worth looking at the photo on p.297 as David Hammond is shown there, with what looks to be a lot of the Flair/Haze items.

Shame it's in black and white, I hadn't noticed it before,I also have a marked neodynium, or whatever it's called piece
