The height is good for this piece. List it on whitefriars.com just to be sure on this one, but my thoughts are still no.

Just got back to this thread.  I do think the shape is right, but the colour which should be Twilight, does look odd in the photos.  But it could just be the settings which have distorted the colour.(or maybe an odd colour batch on the day it was made) perhaps?

Here's one I found currently on ebay, and which clearly shows the Twilight colour.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Whitefriars-vase-No-9539-Twilight_W0QQitemZ380193086179

They were  made only in three solid colours Ocean Green, Arctic Blue and Twilight despite the catalogue photo which makes it look as if they were produced in cased colours, very deceptive! See catalogue link here:
http://www.whitefriars.com/catalogues/contents.php?id=358

Certainly there are some Scandi look-a-likes around, but I do feel this one is WF.

thank you all for your information - it is much appreciated.
Emmi, thanks for taking the time to look again and provide more info as well. 
The pic you showed looks a dark grey/green to me on my monitor- is twilight a dark grey/green?    I would say my photos make mine look a lot more brown than it is in reality apart from down the sides of the full pic vase which look quite good - that's having looked again in daylight (sorry just had to get to work today finally  ;D so no time to take pics in daylight).  But that said ...it is definitely still a green with a brown hint, not a green with a dark grey hint if ykwim?  Other than that I think it looks the same as the catalogue pics and the other link pics when seen in real life. 
I only have 4 pieces of w/f two of which I'm not keen on (ribbon trails, sapphire and sea green) and one ruby knobbly, so I have nothing to compare to.
I hope it is W/f, that would be very pleasing :)

ah, managed a pic that I think is more representative of colour.

I think having looked at all the comparisons that the casing on mine is not as deep?

That photo is spot on. Well done!  Twilight is a tricky colour for some people who may see a lot of green and /or grey in it and it also seems to vary depending on thickness of the glass.  I have one piece which always looks grey in a photo, thick walled and impossible to capture its true colour. As for my description of the colour........LOL! Either greenish brown or brownish green! ::)
