A Very Whitefriars Day...
« on: August 24, 2008, 07:59:33 PM »
I don't need an ID for this one - I just thought it was a very pretty photograph of a vase I bought today - 9874 'Ridged' Vase in Sky Blue - along with the same pattern in Gold that I bought a few months back.

I bought both vases from stalls with lots of bog-standard Whitefriars marked up at silly above-retail prices, but in both instances these 9874 vases were really quite cheap (by comparison) and completely unidentified by the sellers. I suppose they're not instantly recognisable as 'typical' WF....

And I also picked up a complete M10 water set in Twilight, complete with a Design Centre label...

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Thanks Pamela.  :)

Steve, um, I think I'll put them in my shop for a while, although they may get eBayed sometime in the future if they don't sell. The Sky Blue one is a little rarer than the Gold, as Gold was produced 1978-80, and the Sky Blue just for a few months in 1980 before the factory closed.

Yup - should have loads of contenders for that now that I'm (slowly) mastering my lighting table!  ;D
