 think so.  Will have a look through my catalogue pages later this evening and see if there is a shape number available.
Love Stuart glass from this period and earlier. It is so well made, such lovely glass in the hand, fine and has the appearance of fine thin glass ...but not too fine, sturdy... but not clunky, and beautifully made - just perfect really.

Unfortunately none of the vases on the catalogue pages have that particular spiral going all the way up the vase.
Keith yours looks like one that is in plain clear glass pattern nmber14366. And it was made in a 7""tall version.  Differences are that proportionately the one I'm looking at appears to have a very slightly wider base than yours.  It is difficult to tell (or at least I find it difficult) when trying to match patterns to actual pieces.  There is another one in the same shape as the first catalogue piece,l that is a cut version.  That also came in a 7" tall version and has a different pattern number I guess because it is a cut piece.
Both look to be the same shape and both look to be slightly wider at the base than yours.

Ben, I cant see the shape of yours or as I said above, any versions with a continuous spiral, on the pages I have unfortunately.

Obviously I only have limited pages so that's not to say that design was not a Stuart design. 
Beginning to wish I'd bought all available pages when I saw them.

Sorry I don't have anything definite to add.
