Topic: Clear round vase with white swirls?

[Otis Orlando]

This bowl in it's simplicity looks very nice displayed.  The bowl measures 17cm in height, 2.6cm dia. at top and 6cm dia. to base.  There is a 3.5cm polished pontil, concaved.  Can anyone please provide originator and age.  Many thanks!  :thup:

seen a few of these around over the last year or so, saw one on ebay a few weeks back attributed to whitefriars, although really not sure that is accurate or not.

Otis: His another one on ebay: Item number: 120540580084

Still not convinced by these, nor is the seller from their description!

Anyway, something to mull over.

 HI, I'm sure these have been discussed before, as many people confuse them with Whitefriars lamp bases. They were sold by Woolworths, I have two myself and I like them whoever made them!!!!       Cheryl

The purple swirl ones are everywhere also. Modern and Poland I suspect.

I have a purple one on my Wannabee blog with the Woolworths label.  I think they cost about £7.99 at the time.
