A mid century sea green glass vase attributed to the Whitefriars glass manufactory, to a design by James Hogan and William Wilson, the cylindrical tapering form decorated with internal horizontal optical ribbing.

Founded in the heart of London near Fleet Street, the Whitefriars Glass Manufactory traces its origins to 1680, making it one of Britain's longest-running and most influential glassworks. Its name derives from the Carmelite monastery that once occupied the site, the monks' white habits earning them the nickname "White Friars." Despite its artistic success, the manufactory closed in 1980, ending over 300 years of continuous production. The design of this vase was in production between 1937 and 1957.
