Whitefriars
« on: May 15, 2013, 11:51:55 AM »
My late mother had two pieces of glass she treasured but used regularly. One was a large and delicate pale blue ribbed trumpet vase that she received just before WW2 and the other was a very plain large bowl.
The vase that my sister now uses for flowers on her kitchen window cill I identified as a Harry Powell 8852  and each time I visit I check for damage.
The bowl was a gift at the same time and was never treated with respect as it was plain and useful for storing keys and loose change! I have now aquired it and pictures follow.
Plain glass, slightly blue, a couple of small bubbles and some signs of its long life.
The base is recessed with an outer ground ring and the bowl is 12 3/4  inches across and stands 2 3/4inches high
Is it W/Fs and is it also Powell ?
It has some sentimental value to me but should it be more carefully looked after than it was previously?

cheers
Dave

It looks pressed not blown (blue is not a good colour to view blue against)  and if it is, it's not WF.
