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 :)
-
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
