Seems very light to me for something of that size.

You are of course right.  A similar sized Whitefriars  would weigh in the region of  1.4Kg - more if a Full Lead Crystal version.

Indeed, and the Czech items I own would weigh around the same. I have a quite a lot of Czech glass and it is all quite heavy.

Could still be Czech I suppose but not great quality.

It doesn't look a quality piece whatever it is, but it has bids!  Suppose it has something to do with the magic title

"Whitefriars? Deep Blue Knobbly Vase"

My pet hate is the dreaded "?" !!  >:(

Does ANYONE know what this may be as I hate messaging sellers to say it isn't when I don't know what it is!! :huh:
