Topic: Vase with internal vertical ribbing, WF?

[Retro Mojo UK]

Hi All,

Could this be WF?

Brown Aubergine vase/glass cased in clear, 150mm tall, smooth base, internal vertical optic ribbing


Please no insults if I'm way off 

Cheers

Looks fairly modern to my eyes, wouldn't have thought Whitefriars was a contender, sorry. See what others think.....

Do you have a picture of the internal ribbing and one of the rim..?

Hi,

I tried to photograph the ribbing but it doesn't show, it's very similar to WF's vase with optic ribbing

Cheers

hello Retro  -  were you suggesting this kind of optic ribbing...  http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,27308.msg149538.html#msg149538...     or did you have in mind the wave/swag type of effect.

I sincerely hope no one here would insult you if you were wrong

[Paul S.]

meant to say that I'd agree with Greg  -  this looks modern and not Whitefriars.

........and if you scroll way down on Emmi's wannabee site here.........   http://whitefriarsglasswannabees.blogspot.com/ ...   you should see some wave/swag ribbing.

Hi Greg,

It's vertical straight lines, no wave/swag, just straight down lines,

Many thanks

Hello,

I'm afraid that this is not Whitefriars. There are too many characteristics that say 'no' against the one possible indicator of vertical ribbing - something that was done by many other manufacturers/makers.

This piece looks younger than Whitefriars, ie. post 1980.

Hope that helps, Nigel
