I have an unusual paperweight I suspect is a Whitefriars frigger, but would welcome the views of the Whitefriars aficionados on the Board.
The complex canes appear to be made from elements similar to those found in the paperweights and bottles from the early 1950s, such as the Triplex and EIIR weights. I have an idea I have seen these multi-coloured buddled canes before, but cannot recall where. The canes are set over a central blob (I hesitate to call it a mushroom) made of latticino . The base is unfinished, with a snapped off pontil mark. Good quality heavy lead crystal, 2 7/8 inch / 72 mm inch diameter, 2 inch / 53 mm high.
The seller had listed a variety of other Whitefriars weights, including a couple of unusual or experimental pieces.
Anyone seen one like it, or got any ideas?
