I'll stick my neck out and say no not W/F.   It looks altogether rather clumsy to me, the base looks very heavy and if it is meant to be one of the trailed vases, then it looks rather off proportionally for the height.

Here's  link to some of the trailed range which as you'll see are quite delicate by comparison
