I think this vase is Czech, but is it, or is it Whitefriars??

Lovely amber colour.  Does not seem heavy enough for Whitefriars and that rim is off centre so I suspect it may be from Czechoslovakia.  Not really my area of expertise - help is needed.

with that underside I think China and Poland make it to the shortlist as well.

It certainly has a look of Skrdlovice but I think they are finished a little better. An attractive enough piece but possibly second generation.

I agree with Ivo...  I've seen quite a few of these vases here.  :hi:

Actually it doesn't look like what I thought it did. Ignore this :)

Ah, I've just noticed that the vase hasn't got lobes, but knobs...  The Polish vases of this type have got lobes and most often a rough mark on the base from where the pontil was snapped off.  Sorry. :-[

I thought it was a kingsware but then changed my mind when I looked at the pictures because it seems to have a lot more knobbles per square inch.

No heights given with the Kingsware price list but I reckon that they must be a contender.
