Hi Mick, I think it might be. I just sold one similar with optic vertical lines which I think might have been Whitefriars but have only seen the ones with optic horizontal lines attributed to Whitefriars so far.

A close up of the pontil mark would be handy, it looks a bit uneven.

We had a member here who did quite an extensive blogspot on whitefriars.

This is a link to the page on knobblies, but there are other links there. You'll find loads of images and info.

I am not convinced this vase is a wfs colour, but I don't know them all off by heart.
The whitefriars forum itself seems to be kaput.

The Whitefriars facebook group is very active and should be able to help.

The size and regular lines of the bubbles don't look typically Whitefriars, and I have doubts about the base/pontil too but I could be wrong.
It could be European but I can't be specific.
