Whitefriars, pat no. 9571. Not sure about the colour, may be 'Arctic blue' but I'm sure there are people more knowledgable about WF colours who will be able to confirm this.

Both www.whitefriars.org & www.whitefriars.com feature a selection of Whitefriars trade catalogues. Your vase will probably date from the mid 60s or thereabouts.

As a suggestion, I would consider purchasing Ivo's book - I refer to it as the biggest, littlest book on glass, and it is an essential purchase for any glassie:
