Topic: Help with colour and pattern number Whitefriars please

[chrisffc]

Hi all
Please could you confirm colour and pattern number of bud vase tear drop. Much appreciated as always Chris

It looks rather like it may be neodymium(Alexandrite) glass.  If you hold it near a flourescent tube does it raemain pale amethyst of turn to pale blue or pale green - if so it is neodymium glass.  As far as I am aware WF did not do Neodymium objects.  It would then probably be Czeck or Murano.  Also from a rusty memory I feel that vases of this shape were always coated with an thick, clear, outer layer.

Hi ahremck
It does change colour to a pale blue. That was putting me off it being Whitefriars as well as i can't remember seeing anything of there's which does this. So Murano or Czech hmmm I will keep looking around the web. Thanks for the info

I think it's Caithness; shape and colour look right.

I agree with Christine .

What's a few hundred kilometres between factories?  Wish they all marked everythin properly and save us so much grief.

It really would help.
Come on all you glass producers label your stuff!!!

[Lustrousstone]

It probably was labelled originally.

I am sure it is Caithness too, the shape is not Whitefriars nor the colour.

My thinking, for what it's worth is Caithness also.
