Whitefriars or maybe not?

(1/2) > >>

BJB:

I have just aquired these two lovely bowls, both smokey brown colour, and I wonder if they may be Whitefriars or, knowing me, maybe not

This one looks like a hat, and has a lovely ground pontil.

This one has a green foot, and is really good quality and heavy.

This one shows the tops of both, both the bases have ground pontils.

Many thanks
Barbara.

Hi BJB.
          The second is almost WF i am 95% sure but just need to check some more, i say this because on ebay there is a sale with 40Pieces up and on the table is this vase, ebay number is 120308977376, a great buy here for some lucky collector or dealer.

Hi Barbara,

Sorry, but I don't think either piece is W/f. [and there are certainly some oddities within that link to eBay :( ]

Ebay as a reference?  :o

Pinkspoons:
The first piece might (and only might) be by JE Bang for Holmegaard, c.1929-36. But I wouldn't like to give a definite yay or nay based on the photographs without actually handling the piece or finding the shape in a catalogue.

My guess is based on the bowl, pitcher and decanter illustrated on pages 5-6 of Glashistorisk Selskab Holbæk's 2007 JE Bang exhibition catalogue, which can be viewed here: http://www.glashistoriskselskab.dk/images/stories/JacobBangOgGlasset.pdf
