Amethyst/Aubergine Bark Vase - ID = Whitefriars 9689

(1/2) > >>

David E:
Came across over the weekend. Measures 6in (15cm) high and a slightly uneven, unground rim. Base has a ground, polished pontil mark and unfinished base. Amethyst cased in clear.

My meagre knowledge in WF leads me to think it is not by it, so possibly Ingridglas?

Mosquito:
Definitely Whitefriars, pat. no. 9689, colour is 'aubergine'.

Pip:
It's absolutely spot on for Whitefriars!  It's quite easy to tell the difference between WF and Ingridglas when you've got one of each side by side to compare - the texture of the Ingridglas ones is very different and they often have an inch or so at the top without the texturing (and they don't have the ground pontil either).

David E:
OK, thanks, guys and gals! :clap: I was unsure as the texture did not feel right... but I'm no expert!

There is a slight lip on the rim - obviously a manufacturing flaw - but I assume this could be quite normal when it was mould-blown?

Edit - you can see it at the front of the rim photo

Pip:
The rim's fine David - all the bark vases I've owned have had irregular rims - varying thicknesses etc - it looks OK to me.  I'm  :mrgreen: (but pleased for you of course!).
