Its spot on David, i see several of the ex workers in my club every Sunday lunch time so i can always check any W/Fs questions out,When they sober up.

josordoni:
Lovely piece David.  I have a cut down Ingridglass one, and the colour is quite different side to side.  The WF is plummier, the Ingrid more purple than aubergine.  And the texture on the Ingrid is in deep straight lines from top to bottom, whereas the WF is more in little oblongs.

David E:
Thanks all. Although this is not my vase, when it was originally listed it sold easily enough and was shipped to the seller. My friend (a newish eBayer) then gave feedback... and was then held to ransom by the buyer "not WF, dip in the rim, 1/8" too short (yes, honestly!) blah-di-blah"). So the vase was returned for a refund and I gave my (rather weak) appraisal that it could be Ingridglas.

But this has restored my faith. I will send it back to my friend who can now list without fear of contradiction (and without leaving feedback first!)

Pip:
Anyone who knows anything about WF will know that there is quite a bit of 'play' with regard to the sizes - your friend's buyer sounds like a right wally.
