Topic: ID please for Non Whitefriars vase bearing Whitefriars label

[vidrioguapo]

With a start price of £150, it is unlikely anyone will bid on this, but I'd like to know the maker so I can inform the seller.  I am sure  seller just doesn't know any better, and it is not a deliberate piece of trickery........

Uneven fire polished rim reminds me of some Japanese bark vases [Link], but that's just a guess.

This one (amber is not the only colour they come in) reminds me of the BHF vases, at least the texture does, no idea if there is a connection there or not.

Most likely Japanese. Cant add any more. These bark effect pieces mostly come with generic labels that I cannot pinpoint at this stage

Thanks guys for the input.   Frustrating isn't it when you go round and rounds in circles with this type of item?

BHF things are much thinner glass - this does have a deep texture - is Ingridglas a possibility?
(I'm unable to comment on Japanese or other far eastern owing to severe lack of knowledge.)

This is Wayne's page on Ingrid Glass - do you think the texture pattern matches anything there?

All the Ingrid bark vases I've seen have had flat ground rims, although they have made other stuff with fire polished rims...

  Thanks for educating me, Wayne.
