There seem to be many makers of bubble weights like these, from Chinese to Czech, but to me it's not Whitefriars.

Would have put money on this one being Whitefriars, on close inspection turned out to be Webb.

The base finish and the irregularity of the bubbles don't point to a good maker.

Yes Chris That`s what it looks like. The bubbles are in line and larger at the base and getting smaller towards the top .there are sign`s of a label being to the base but has long since gone  now.
