Job Lot, number 3
« on: August 26, 2009, 01:00:27 PM »
Hello All,

Last piece to bother you with just now, This is a little ashtray, the glass is full of bubbles in no particular pattern.
The base is concave where it has been ground. Lots of wear to the base.
 Thanks to all who take the time to read these and offer their opinions.

Slainte David

Hi,

Looks like a 1960s Whitefriars bubble bowl or ashtray. Come in a variety of sizes usually around 6inches.

I would agree with Greg. 

I have found the people at www.whitefriars.com to be very nice, and they would be happy to confirm or deny our suspicions in their "Is It Whitefriars?" section.

Best of luck,
Stu.

Hi,

Posted my own bowl, just yesterday,  on the whitefriars site for confirmation which was duly given.  Looks like ours.
